Holy Scripture (or Sacred Scripture, meaning the Holy Writings) is a term of reverence used by Christianity when referring to the Bible. The most standard understanding of these writings is that they were composed under the revelation of God though the Holy Spirit. The older branches of Christianity accept the idea that metaphor and poetry are an integral part of their composition; certain traditions, however, especially in Protestantism, consider these writings to be factually accurate, and thus inerrant (see Fundamentalist Christianity). An equivalent term is Holy Writ. The term can have non-Christian applications as well; for example, the Qur'an may hold an equivalent position in the life of a devout Muslim as the Bible does in the life of a devout conservative Christian. Other religions have their own revealed scriptures, which they regard as holy. For a Hinduism, the Vedas and the Bhagavad Gita would be regarded as a Holy Scripture, as would be the sutras for a Buddhism.
