A Biblical allusion makes an indirect reference to the Bible. It requires that the reader be familiar with the Bible or portion of the Bible used to convey the hidden meaning of the words. For example, the statement, “He slayed his Goliath,” makes reference to the Biblical story of David and Goliath. “The Grapes of Wrath” by John Steinbeck contains many Biblical allusions.
