  I'd also recommend you run over to oyc.yale.edu and watch/listen to the recordings of their courses on the Old and New Testaments. They're fantastic, intellectually-serious overviews of the Bible that are much more accessible and less of a time commitment than the book itself. Obviously you'll eventually want to get to the book itself, but I think you'll find it easier to process and easier to appreciate if you... Source: about 3 years ago
