Reading the Bible is unique from every other book in the sense that you don't have to master it--the reward comes in allowing it to master you.
Augustine definitely coined this phenomenon.
"I resolved, therefore, to direct my mind to the Holy Scriptures, that I might see what they were. And behold, I saw something not comprehended by the proud, not disclosed to children, something lowly in the hearing, but sublime in the doing, and veiled in mysteries" (35).
