[Emily · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good starting point for the linking of the Bible with literature. It's not comprehensive, and simply focuses on a few key biblical stories as well as being a little dated in its use of literature, which is why it was only a starting place for me.

Whether you are religious or not, it is nice to know about the origins and contents of the book that has shaped Western culture.
