Literary and Philosophical References
The Body of Christopher Creed is basically one giant shout-out to Christianity, though not in terms of coming out for or against the religion. Instead the book just borrows heavily from the Christian tradition as a way of making meaning and telling its story more richly. For two specific references to the Bible, though, check out 2.36 and 19.5.
