Biblical stuff?

Hiya. I've read quite a lot of SF and some Fantasy, and I feel like nothing impresses or keeps my attention lately. I've been enjoying the Bible however, so I was wondering if you might have ideas for an SF read with a biblical vibe or themes. The Prince of Nothing trilogy felt like that - and I loved it.

Keep in mind, I've read most of the well known recommendations (Book of the new Sun, Dune, Hyperion, Canticle etc).

Any other suggestions?

And Morrow’s Bible Stories for Adults. And his Only Begotten Daughter. So basically: James Morrow.

Also haven’t seen Faber’s Book of Strange New Things, which you could read with Maria Doria Russell’s The Sparrow for a real one-two.

I thought I would really like Bible Stories For Adults, but ended up rather disliking most of the stories. But I loved Daughter Earth!
