Hello, I am looking for books with religious and mythological themes, specifically on Christian mythology, though I would prefer for them to not be written by a person who is faithful or loyal to that religion. The reason for this is because I'm looking for more "blasphemous" titles, such as those that revolve around the dynamic between Jesus of Nazareth (Jesus Christ) and Judas Iscariot, those talking about the tale of the Garden of Eden (Eve, Adam, Lilith, the serpent, etc.), themes of Lucifer and his fall from Heaven, mistrust or hatred of the Christian God, etc. (Any other story from the Bible or other Christian mythology would work fine as well.) I would also prefer for them to be literary fiction, poetry, prose, or a mixture of those genres. Non-fiction would also be great, but again written by someone who is knowledgable of the religion and mythology but is not apart of it. I am also okay with mixed media style books (I am not sure if this is the correct word for it, but I mean books like House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski, or S. by Doug Dorst and J. J. Abrams. Or just simply books with visual art inside them as well as written work.) Thank you so much for reading this post and/or commenting down suggestions, I really appreciate it. I am also new to this subreddit and Reddit as a whole so please correct me if I did or said anything wrong. And just to clarify (though I am not sure if I need to), I do not wish to debate or argue on the different opinions and sides on this type of literature, I am just simply looking for recommendations as this is something I am interested in.
