Imagine this...

 Okay. I'm asking for your thoughts/opinion Belaqua.

 So lets imagine this. We have a libray. A huge one that holds all the different types/categories of books.

 Where in this library would you place the Bible? Under which 'Heading' or definition?

EDIT: Also I just realized this may not be in the line of the thread and if do I do apologize.

I'm doing my best to answer you but you keep changing the question. Yesterday you wanted the genre. Today you wanted to know my opinion of the value, relevance, or status. Now you want the genre again.

In the Dewey Decimal System, religious books are the 200s. The Old Testament is 221 and the New Testament is 225. So that's how they are categorized. Shakespeare is in 822, English Drama.

The Bible is not the same as a novel or a play or a work of history. It is a spiritual book with literary qualities, like the Lotus Sutra. 

I would put it on the shelf with The Cloud of Unknowing, the works of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, and Augustine's Confessions.
