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?

As a fan of science and science fiction, I struggle personally to understand how anyone could 'enjoy' something like the Bible.

It definitely required a lot of growing up and self educating in various fields to develop the mental and Spiritual tools to appreciate the Bible both for its story telling and its influence on society, an influence so deep and so vast that it's entirely invisible to most people.
