What's a more generic way to refer to stories common to both Jewish and Christian scripture? Seven years of Catholic school have programmed me to say "According to the Old Testament tale of Blah and the blah blah," but quite often I'd rather point at a broader context.

Also, I'd use "mythology" vs. "story"/"tale"

... that way, you'd be completely taking a step back from the religious implications of the stories, methinks ;-)
