- God said, Let there be bliss: and there was bliss.
Good fiction requires conflict.
This is one of the main reasons I've always been confused by people's assertions of the Bible's great literary value. The only permanent character basically doesn't have to deal with conflict.
God is for most of the Bible in the backdrop. The actual good literature is generally in sections with minimum amounts of divine intervention. Much of Samuel and Kings falls into this category. Some other well done literary sections are the sections where the characters are in conflict with God. See for example the story of Jonah.
Note also that even if this were not the case, there would still be literary value because of the immense influence the Bible has had on Western literature.
