The Old Testament is very difficult for some people but it's not written in a very sophisticated style. It can feel very tedious at some points. I've read some people outright recommend avoiding the Tabernacle portion. I've heard of people describing Rothko as the two-color guy and people explaining that seeing it in person finally made it click for them. Just like movies, just like music. You've found some sort of connection with your book while everyone else has missed it. Why don't you try explaining your connection with your group?
