Literary approach to the Bible
The Romantic movement primarily searched the Bible's primitive simplicity and passionate sublimity for inspiration as a literary source and model, not a source of religious truth. In many ways, the Romantic veneration of the Bible as literature was a poet's movement.
C. S. Lewis speaks of the era's taste for the primitive and the passionate: "The primitive simplicity of a world in which kings could be shepherds, the abrupt and mysterious manner of the prophets, the violent passions of bronze-age fighting men, the background of tents and flocks and desert and mountain, the village homeliness of Our Lord’s parables and metaphors, now first, I suspect, became a positive literary asset."

William Blake described the Bible as containing, "the great code of art."
