Not to spoil the buck but he talks about in all literature there is a hero and goes on a journey. Always wondered if that can't be applied to religious texts.

That's probably tricky because the Bible is a collection of short stories written over several hundred years by various authors, not a coherent story. You might apply literary devices to some individual stories in the Bible, I suppose, if you insist.
