I usually get a lot of flak for saying - if all those hagiographies can be shown to be "historicising" or "spin doctoring" why should I see the bible as anything more than just another hagiography?

Hadiography, that's a massive subject covering a massive amount of subjects. I'm sure every world religion and their writings uses them and I'm pretty sure they all pinched bits from each other to make themselves and their leading lights look much better. Commentators use allegory, people add little bits to enhance a story and it all starts again.
