Poll: What Books of the Bible are Studied the Least?

[Call me Nic]

Which book do you feel like is the least studied, referenced, or thought about to you?

This came to mind after I referenced Philemon (first time I've ever used Philemon to support a belief by the way).

I could only post a limited amount of books, which are the ones I think are either very short or not very significant theologically.

**Also, after you vote, feel free to explain why or how.

Song of Solomon instantly comes to mind for me.

It may actually be numerically true I've used another book less, but I tend to see spiritual principles more frequently in all the other types of writing, mire often than I see it in Song ... though they are in that book as well.

Probably the minor prophets, although I do love Malachi.

@Nicolaus Mourer I think you probably mean 'overtly significant theologically', because all Scripture does mean something really tremendous, if studied.

Right, forgive me. All scripture is indeed inspired.

It's true that on the surface some books of the Bible can seem obscure at first.

2 Corinthians. I think it's one of the most difficult books.

Interesting. Though it is chalked full of great doctrine, it is one of the harder Epistles. What do you find particularly challenging about it, if you don't mind me asking?

It has wonderful moments. But, for the life of me, I cannot discern a flow of argument. It appears to me to be one of the most scatter-brained books in all of Scripture.

I picked Nahum, because I had that, "Oh yeah, that's a Bible chapter!" moment when I saw the name.

Fair enough. I do like Chapter 5 for the references of being with the Lord when being absent from the body.

I think Christians should study the Old Testament more in general. It crucial to understand the Old Testament to understand the New Testament.

 

[Phil 1:21]

I suspect most people are familiar with Genesis, parts of Exodus, the occasional quotings from Leviticus, the four gospels and bits of Revelation. Not much else.

No answer. Revelation was not a choice.
