You must realize that all the great writers of Europe read the Bible (and were indirectly influenced by it, through other writers, paintings, etc.) so yes, it makes sense.

I would read it all but I'd rather read frivolous poetry and prose inspired by the bible and Ovid and shit instead. The bible is cool, but has tons of weird ritual instruction shit in it, which, while beautiful, is quite boring. I prefer idiosyncratic allusions.
