1 | Books that are considered sacred by at least one religion. For sacred books as a trope in fiction, see SacredScripture. The latter will also tell you more about the genre. |
2 | |
3 | Note that not every text concerned with religion is also considered sacred. For instance, within UsefulNotes/{{Christianity}}, Literature/TheBible is considered holy, but theological or devotional literature, the Lives of Saints, and Christian fiction are not. |
4 | |
5 | Also, the status of a text as sacred may be ambiguous even within a single religion, as one branch of a religion may regard a specific text sacred while another doesn't. For the purpose of this index, it is enough if ''one'' branch regards it as sacred. |
