What do you mean by reading it academically?
Do you mean reading them for deeper meaning?
What does academic study mean?

I'm using the term loosely. To me, it means studying language usage, etymologies, the historical context of events, geographies, etc. Taking a clinical approach.
That's different from, for a lack of a better word, a more "spiritual" approach ... seeking the Spirit during study, focusing on personal application, etc.
A combination of the two is necessary, I think, for an enriched study experience.
