English Art/Literary Religion About Poetry and Wisdom Books in the Bible

On the other hand, the writers of biblical wisdom were no mere imitators, producing derivative echoes of their cosmopolitan
neighbors. In terms of scope, originality, and profundity, the biblical writings remain unrivaled. Indeed, one of the small mysteries about them—Job, Psalms, and Proverbs in particular—is just why they are written on such a grand scale. In terms of range and depth of vision, they far transcend their nonbiblical parallels, their outlook reflecting the greatness of the God who ***informs*** and indeed shapes them. Awareness of the distinctive contours of biblical poetry and wisdom sharpens our understanding of the insights and concerns of Israel’s poets and sages.

What is the sense of "inform" here? May it just be a synonim of "shape"?
