People tend to create/describe characters in ways they are most familiar with.
It's fiction either way. And the Bible was written a very, very long time ago for a pretty specific audience.

synonyms: written works · writings · (creative) writing · literary texts · compositions · letters · belles-lettres · printed works · published works · humanities · arts · liberal arts- books and writings published on a particular subject.
"the literature on environmental epidemiology"
synonyms: publications · published writings · texts · reports · studies · relevant works
