Line #65 Main/SacredLiterature


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.
