description: The author outlines his year-long stay from 1973-1974 in Tehran, Iran where he taught a course on the Bible as a great piece of literature, a world classic, in the World Literatures major at Damavand College, a women's college, and comes to the conclusion that the Bible can hold its own as a classic, an indespensible part of our World Literary Heritage.
