Bible as Literature, as a discipline

I learned this method in Bible college, taking extra classes. I was attracted to it because it does not lead one to the "Protestant" doctrines and it does not impose a false grid of interpretation upon the text. The Bible IS literature: a literary grid emerges from the text naturally. 

I hope to find more people interested in this pursuit at a Bible as Literature conference this winter.

This is not a Bible study group, per se. It is a group on one's findings as they study it as lit, and of how to do so.
