SS Botany Bay-library

The Holy Bible (second from the right) found aboard the SS Botany Bay

For additional meanings of "Bible", please see Bible.

The Bible, sometimes called the Holy Bible, was a collection of ancient Earth writings usually bound together as a book. Laws pertaining to the Human rights of the accused were enumerated in the Bible. (TOS: "Court Martial")

The Bible is a sacred text in Christianity and Judaism, dealing extensively with the history of the latter, and Humanity's relation with one of the Human gods.

The Bible was a very influential book in Earth history and as such Humans used the word bible to describe works like the Vulcan Kir'Shara, and Chicago Mobs of the Twenties, the latter explicitly being described as the blueprint for the Iotians entire society moments before. (ENT: "Daedalus"; TOS: "A Piece of the Action")

The Gutenberg Bible, produced by Johannes Gutenberg, was a particularly notable printing, compared in importance to the Redstone missile and the Ford Model T by Berlinghoff Rasmussen. Flint possessed a Gutenberg Bible, among his collection of extremely rare books. (TNG: "A Matter of Time"; TOS: "Requiem for Methuselah")

In 2152, when Lieutenant Malcolm Reed asked Captain Jonathan Archer what made him think that the Suliban wouldn't come after the Enterprise NX-01 once they found the Suliban stealth-cruiser, Archer replied "Just like those old Bible movies, Malcolm. It wasn't written." (ENT: "Shockwave")

It was one of the legal authorities cited by Attorney-at-Law Samuel T. Cogley at Captain Kirk's general court martial in 2267. (TOS: "Court Martial")

A 20th century copy of the Holy Bible was among the small collection of books found aboard the SS Botany Bay. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)

In 2374, Joseph Sisko recited a Bible verse to Benjamin Sisko, which surprised his son, as he had never known his father to quote from the Bible before. (DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars")

Benny Russell encountered a preacher who used several Biblical quotes to help convince him to follow his dreams and to open people's eyes to the future of mankind. (DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars")
