You might really enjoy the biblical series of lectures, currently in progress, by Jordan B. Peterson on Youtube - he goes to extreme lengths to truly understand these biblical passages through study and research, looking through multiple translations, as well as discusses what they mean psychologically in an incredible way. For example - what does “Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth” mean?

Well, Jordan more or less interprets meekness in its' original meaning: having the power and the ability to harm someone, but choosing not to wield that power. The translation of the actual word 'meek' in the way it was used in the Bible is less along the lines of simply 'gentle' or 'weak' but more, 'strong but gentle' - thus, blessed are those who have the ability to do great harm but choose not to.
