       I didn't crib any of that off wikipedia. Can't even look at wikipedia 
       easily, something's wrong with the gopherpedia proxy.
       
       But you're absolutely right. Like math, like any skill, like insight into 
       people, religious learning is a lifelong work of heart, mind, and patterned
       action.
       
       I was raised in the church, and am currently a serving deacon. I study 
       scripture with old church ladies, and ask questions and challenge 
       interpretations arrived at by my pastor. I also read the Bible to my kid, 
       which has been eye opening!
       
       There's history and theology, playfulness and tradition. Also friendsips 
       throughout my life with Conservative, Orthodox, and Reform Jews. Been to 
       many passover seders, listened to many Torah portions, heard Hasidic 
       stories, listened to friends debate fine points of Talmud interpretation,
       been to plenty of Purim parties, had plenty of arguments, been the gentile 
       who flips on the lights.
       
       I've learned a lot from Jewish traditions. The little bit I've been able to 
       ask questions and compare notes on Christology etc with Muslims has been as 
       deeply rewarding, but very few Muslim acquaintences I've known in my life 
       were as willing as my Jewish friends to discuss how we see things.

       My favorite book on the prophets was also Dr. Martin Luther King's. His 
       friend, Orthodox Rabbi Abraham Heschel, wrote it. It's called The Prophets. 
       I often bring it to Bible study to spice things up and keep us grounded.
       
       The Bible wants a community. What you can discover by reading it alone (or 
       expecting Wikipedians or bboard tackers to read it for you) is pretty 
       limited.
