I've heard that. As I've said before I read the thing the way any ordinary person would read it, but with a little knowledge of what was happening in that world, from secular history. I don't see any magical, mystical message. Just a lot of mumbo jumbo badly written text waffling on about jesus this and they other, nothing that inspired me. But then I admit, it takes a lot of inspire me, usually it involves mountains, and streams and blue skies, the ocean etc. People don't inspire me.
