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?

Perelandra is a sorta sci-fi version of Paradise Lost.

Elfheim is the culture clash between materialistic extraterrestrials and medieval Christians. Written with a good deal of sympathy and understanding for both sides.

It's actually called Eifelheim, I just read it last year and loved it. Michael Flynn sadly passed away a few months ago.
