I agree. It is not relevant.
It fails to address hardly any modern ideas.
You lose your congregations' attention on page 1.

It isn't a single work, it is multiple works, some of which are historical (though often inaccurate), some are religious, some are allegorical. Now I guess most of those categories could be called 'fiction', but I still wouldn't call it 'a work of fiction'.
