Top five? All of them.

What?

10

Genesis
Luke
Acts
Psalms
John

(Although I reserve the right to answer differently should you ask this question of me later).

11

John
Genesis
Psalms
Romans
Job - I put this in mainly to be different, but it does ask some important questions.

12

Maybe you should have considered Numbers. :smiley:

13
  1. Matthew - Jesus’ best sermons are in this book.
  2. Romans - The best layout of basic Christian beliefs
  3. Genesis - The beginning
  4. John - The best written Gospel and a runner up to Matthew.
  5. Psalms - Cool poetry and profound contemplation
14

Genesis
Exodus
Samuel (II if I can’t use both)
Psalms
Matthew

15

John
Romans
Acts
Genesis
Exodus
Psalms

Yeah, I’m cheating and picking six.

16

Genesis for the creation myth.
Exodus for the foundations of Judaism.
Matthew for the overview of Christianity (I think that’s where the Sermon on the Mount is covered).
Job for God being a dick.
Revelations so you can pick up on the references in pop culture.

17

John
Genesis
Matthew
Romans
Psalms

18

I agree with your list, except that I would replace Psalms with the Gospel of John.

19

Importance to us, or importance to history? If the latter, I think Revelation has to be in there somewhere. If the former, then I doubt anyone will pick it.

20

How are you defining “important”?

I’ll define it as “influential to the overall Christian worlld-view,” which gives me a different answer than if I had typed “Judeo-Christian.”

  1. Genesis
  2. Luke
  3. Luke/John (tie)
  4. Romans.
