Common Errors in English Usage Dictionary

Bible

Whether you are referring to the Jewish Bible

(the Torah plus the Prophets and the Writings)

or the Protestant Bible (the Jewish Bible plus the New Testament),

or the Catholic Bible

(which contains everything in the Jewish and Protestant Bibles

plus several other books and passages

mostly written in Greek in its Old Testament),

the word “Bible” must be capitalized.

Even when used generically, as in,

“The Qur’an is the Bible of the Muslims,”

the word is usually capitalized.

Just rememberthat it is the title of a book,

and book titles are normally capitalized.

An oddityin English usage is, however,

that “Bible” and the names of the various parts of the Bible

are not italicized orplaced between quotation marks.

“Biblical” may be capitalized or not,

as you choose (or as your editor chooses).

Those who wish to be sensitive

to the Jewish authorship ofthe Jewish Bible

may wish to use“Hebrew Bible” and “Christian Scriptures”

instead ofthe traditionally Christian nomenclature:

“Old Testament” and “New Testament.”

Modern Jewish scholarssometimes

use the Hebrew acronym “Tanakh”

to refer to theirBible,

but this term is not generally understood by others.
