Abstract

Owing to cultural egoism and Chinese university students’ inadequate access to the biblical culture, students in colleges and universities in China have long been suffering from a serious lack of literary perspectives from the Bible, so much so that a large number of college students already have problems studying and appreciating literary works related to the Bible. It is for this reason that the author of this paper insists that teaching the Bible as literature in university English programs in China is both necessary and beneficial for Chinese university students and can largely broaden their horizon in understanding world literature.
