Holy Scripture (or '''Sacred Scripture''', meaning the Holy Writings) is a term of Reverence used by Christians when referring to the Bible . The most standard understanding of these writings is that they were composed under the Revelation of God though the Holy Spirit . The older branches of Christianity accept the idea that metaphor and poetry are an integral part of their composition; certain traditions, however, especially in Protestantism , consider these writings to be factually accurate, and thus inerrant (see Fundamentalist Christianity ). An equivalent term is Holy Writ . The term can have non-Christian applications as well; for example, the Qur'an may hold an equivalent position in the life of a devout Muslim as the Bible does in the life of a devout conservative Christian . Other religions have their own revealed scriptures, which they regard as holy. For a Hindu , the Vedas and the Bhagavad Gita would be regarded as a Holy Scripture, as would be the Sutra s for a Buddhist . SEE ALSO |
