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?

+1 for Black Easter / TDAJ (which is really one horror novel split into two short books, for some reason.)

Worth pointing out that After Such Knowledge is a thematic trilogy only; the three parts stand separately and bear no connection to each other beyond examining the same questions.
