I took a Bible as Literature class for my degree. I found it very useful. Nice to know how scholars break down the Bible into parts: Mythological, Historical, Poetic, and Prophetic. Mythological was stuff like Genesis-Deut.; Historical was stuff like 1 and 2 Samuel, Kings; the Poetic was from Job to the Song of Solomon. Prophetic was stuff like Isaiah and Jeremiah. Overall, I liked the class...and it was an easy A that I got over the course of like 2 weeks. Winter classes rule

My favorite parts were Psalms and Song of Solomon.
Assalam alaykum,

The breakdown of the Bible that you describe is, of course, the secular view. The "Bible as Literature" professor at my university was an atheist!

Wassalam
