religious scriptures
Holy written teachings
Religious scriptures are the sacred texts of a faith tradition, regarded by believers as divinely inspired or authoritative: the religious scriptures of Hinduism, scholars who study religious scriptures across traditions.
The term encompasses works like the Bible, Quran, Torah, Vedas, and similar foundational texts.
Scripture alone usually refers to a specific tradition's texts; religious scriptures emphasizes the broader category.
