The series as a whole heavily borrows from a great deal of Western culture, Abrahamic mythology being one of the more obvious aspects of it, yes. I wouldn't limit it to just the Bible though--there are a lot of aspects of the story (such as the apple and the seven deadly sins) that weren't actually in the Bible itself.
