bible

1a: The holy book of the Christian religion.
1b: The sacred book of Judaism.

2: A very inspiring book in any particular field.

1: While "The Bible" is often used to refer solely to the Holy Book of the Christian religion, the world actually has several meanings. In fact a more accurate description could be to describe the Christian Bible as "A bible" or "The Christian Bible" rather than just "The Bible".

2: "Tennis For Dummies is my Personal Tennis Bible!"

bible

(NOTE: this entry defines only "small-b" bible, since too many users on this site use definitions of "capital-B" Bible to argue the merits of Christianity vs. atheism.)

1. A book considered authoritive in its field.
2. The canon of any fictional work, such as a motion picture or a series of related novels; the history and "laws of reality" in a given fictional setting.

1. James Fixx's _Running_ is the jogger's bible.
2. By the time _I Dream of Jeannie_ was filmed in color, Sidney Sheldon must have edited the show's bible: older episodes sometimes show Jeannie escaping from her bottle independently, but newer ones imply that she never could.
