That is a serious question. The author has used the Holy Bible as subject matter. Its unfortunate he has included opinions from other religious beliefs which may conflict with the Christian doctrine.

Making a reference to the Holy Bible is proof that his book is based on the Bible. It proves that he is not writing from his head. He only decided to retell the Old Testament in an easy to read and comprehend way. This is not a conflict of interest at all. He is only acting as a good teacher of the Old Testament. Perhaps, he is an Old Testament major in Theology. Many references give credibility to the book. This is purely an academic way of writing. No man is an island! It proves that there are many people in the same line of his thought. The source that I think is more authentic is the Holy Bible.

I think he makes some very good points with those references, but one I have mixed feelings about is his interpretation of the creation story. I’m not entirely sure he makes a good point there.

The bible is a collection of several books put into one. It makes sense to reference other religious books of course.

I believe he would used the bible solely since the bible is the main object of discussion.

Using different sources of reference is an excellent idea, in my opinion, however, the bible is the most authentic source.

I don't think there is a conflict of interest. Instead, I feel it helped to create an understanding of the stories more for the reader.
