Ow. My pride. What about my site, Sabio? :-p
That’s only half joking. I am somewhat proud of my chapter-by-chapter Bible book summaries. It not yet complete, but it does have the entire Old Testament (except the non-narrative Psalms and Proverbs), and it is written from an accurate perspective of what’s in the text, not a skeptical bias (at least as un-biased as a skeptic can put together). But there are no hard feelings if you don’t want to include my work in the list. I just thought I would mention it for consideration.
Another great resource which spans all religions is the Internet Sacred Text Archive.
Two other sites which have good information, but that I have not used much, are Early Jewish Writings and, its brother, Early Christian Writings.
Thanx, I will ABSOLUTELY include your site. thx. This will be a growing list!
Skeptic’s Annotated Bible is not only an organized catalog of shocking Bible passages, but a fun read to boot.
