BIBLES
Use subjects in this section only for those collections of sacred writings of Christianity that comprise the Old Testament and/or the New Testament. For works about specific aspects of the Bible, use subjects beginning with "RELIGION / Biblical Biography", "RELIGION / Biblical Commentary", "RELIGION / Biblical Criticism & Interpretation", "RELIGION / Biblical Meditations", "RELIGION / Biblical Reference", or "RELIGION / Biblical Studies".
For Bibles that include several translations, use subjects beginning with "BIBLES / Multiple Translations". If the Bible translation needed is not specifically included by name, use subjects beginning with "BIBLES / Other Catholic Translations", "BIBLES / Other English Translations", "BIBLES / Other Non-English Translations" or "BIBLES / Other Spanish Translations". If the Bible translation is unknown, use "BIBLES / General".
Juvenile Bibles should be assigned subjects within the BIBLES section of the appropriate translation followed by the subsubheading "Children" or "Youth & Teen". Individual stories from the Bible geared toward juveniles should be assigned a subject beginning with "JUVENILE NONFICTION / Religion / Bible Stories".
