To the uninitiated, a "Gamla NP" is just a PDF with poor formatting. But to a student, it is an archaeological dig. You scroll past the instructions and land on the texts. In Religion, the reading comprehension sections are rarely just about theology. They are about the friction between the secular and the sacred.
