You do have to buy a CD for the opera class. The Bible as Literature class is actually taught by a professor at Wheaton College. And, it really depends on the specific class as to how much they dive into the idea of the Bible as the inspired word of God. However, looking at how God has masterfully woven words together is awe-inspiring. Plus, as a public school teacher, it will be helpful to me in circumstances when I will need to teach the Bible as literature. I read parts of the Bible in my Honors World Literature class in high school, and it is something I may have to teach someday. I won't be able to teach the Bible as the inspired word of God in a public school without getting immediately fired and blacklisted from teaching at pretty much any other public school again.
