the Bible
Genesis through Revelation
The Bible is the central sacred text of Christianity, comprising the Old Testament (shared with Judaism) and the New Testament.
References to "the Bible" often invoke ultimate authority: It's not the Bible—you can disagree with it.
Something treated as authoritative in a field may be called its bible: That manual is the bible of home repair.
To swear on a Bible is to take an oath.
