I don't mind the idea of a Bible Lit elective, even though I don't believe in it. I think the problem is in the teaching - if it's teaching actual religion instead of just the stories, it's going too far. I was required to take Bib Lit in college (Methodist School) - I know we did the old testament, and I think maybe we did a couple parts of the new testament? I know we didn't do the whole thing. It wasn't terrible, though, since it really was just analyzing the stories. That said, I do agree that a World religions class would probably be far more appropriate.
