Why not read other Ancient Texts to see if there are any correlations with the Bible, many exist, Hindu Texts, Tamil, Akkadian, Sumerian, Egyptian etc, I like the Egyptian Texts which have some beautiful parables in them on Morality such as the tale of The God Hapi and Senmu the Fisherman, in other texts you have the Sumerian and Akkadian versions of the Deluge, in the Sumerian version Ziusudra was the Boat-Builder, the Aztec legends tell of a Flood, they said they had lived on a Large Island in a Big Lake and searched for two hundred years to find their new home, their "New Home" was given to their King in a Vision, in this Dream He saw an Eagle, Perched on a Cactus with a Snake in it's Talon, they had arrived in Mexico - Exists The Pure Land. A lot of good reading and you'll get there.
