    Depends on the part of the Bible, even the Torah flits between universalisation and a local deity. And later bits like Daniel definitely so. The OT makes the most sense when you think of it as Some Dude bolting different stories together and attempting to retcon them into coherence, most of those stories also being redacted by another Some Dude centuries before. Even the 4 sources of the Torah are likely collations of earlier texts/stories/oral histories themselves.
