Bible

Named for the Greek word "Biblios" ("Book") and considered the Holy Book by both Judaism and Christianity (which--at least at its inception--was considered a sect, branch, or spinoff of Judaism named "Messianic Judaism"--regardless of whether it was considered apostate, not-necessarily heretical but still heterodox, or legitimate/orthodox). The parts of the Bible that Normative (Mainstream, Non Messianic) Judaism and Messianic Judaism agree on are the books of Torah, Nevi'im, and Ketuvim--often called Tanakh. Where Judaism and Messianic Judaism divide is the point at which the New Testament (called "Hadashah" for "New" or "News") is eligible to be considered as part of Tanakh (written by some Messianic Jews as "TaNaKH" to include "Hadashah"; written as "TaNaKh" by some Non-Messianic Jews).

A respected or admired book that is not considered a holy book or even a religious text may irreverently or flippantly be called a, or even the, "bible" of its field, subject, or topic of study or exploration. For instance, one might call "The Communist Manifesto" a name such as "The bible of the Far Left," since Communists are very Leftist and subscribe orthodoxly to Karl Marx's and Frederich Engels' ideology as written in "Daas Manifesto".

Pawlenty

The only Pro-Israel candidate (as seen at the Ames, Iowa GOP Debate) in the 2012 GOP Presidential Race, Former Governor Tim Pawlenty (originally pronounced "Pav-lent-y") (R-MN) may even be a Cohen (given that, according to Wargs.com, one of his great-grandmothers was born as Julia Koenig; and in some cases, "Koenig" may well be a variant of "Kohein"-- given that the German "Koenig" means "King" and koheinim (priests) were the head caste in Ancient Israel).

In stark constrast to the other GOP Candidates in Ames, Iowa; Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty not only mentioned Israel directly (as did Texas Representative Ron Paul), but (unlike Ron Paul) voiced support for Israel.
