I remember reading all the books of the New Testament when I was a kid just so that I could say I'd done it - I remember the first four books (Matthew Mark, Luke, and John) were all pretty much the same telling the same traditional story of Jesus in the same sort of roundabout way - then it went downhill from there and by the time I got to Revelations I was depressed as fuck because all it seemed to talk about was sinning, plague and pestilence and how the world would open up into a hellish existence if you didn't repent blah blah blah.....
