Question

The Abrahamic religions are considered “book” religions. The Tanach (Tanakh) was developed and

changed over at least a 2,000-year period. The texts of the Tanach as well as the Christian Bible were compiled, edited, and revised, including determining which books to include and exclude from the Tanach or Bible as a whole. There are also many and differing translations of these books as well as of the Quran, which some Muslims believe ought only be read, learned and studied in Arabic.

Your question: What, then, does it mean to use any of these as a sacred text? How are we to understand those who do, and those who do not, see these texts as sacred? And, what does it mean for a book to be sacred? That is, how are sacred books treated differently from others?
