No, I mean that as far as I know he doesn't have a dogma that the Bible isn't the word of God. And if he did it would hardly influence his interptation in a bad way - unless you assume that God is a lousy writer or just plain deceptive.
Of course the fact is that there is no book of the Bible that actually claims to be the Word of God. The closest you can find is sections where a prophet or the author is repeating a message which he claims comes from God. So maybe you do think that God is deceptive to so thoroughly obscure the authorship you attribute to him.
