<p><b>Religious texts</b>, including <b>scripture</b>, are <a href="Text_(literary_theory)" title="Text (literary theory)">texts</a> which various <a href="Religion" title="Religion">religions</a> consider to be of central importance to their religious tradition. They often feature a compilation or discussion of beliefs, ritual practices, moral commandments and <a href="Religious_law" title="Religious law">laws</a>, ethical conduct, spiritual aspirations, and admonitions for fostering a religious community.

</p><p>Within each religion, these texts are revered as authoritative sources of guidance, wisdom, and <a href="Divine_revelation" class="mw-redirect" title="Divine revelation">divine revelation</a>. They are often regarded as sacred or holy, representing the core teachings and principles that their followers strive to uphold.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Etymology_and_nomenclature">Etymology and nomenclature</h2></div>

<p>According to Peter Beal, the term <i>scripture</i> – derived from <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">scriptura</i></span> (Latin) – meant "writings [manuscripts] in general" prior to the medieval era, and was then "reserved to denote the texts of the Old and New Testaments of the Bible".<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Beyond Christianity, according to the <i>Oxford World Encyclopedia</i>, the term <i>scripture</i> has referred to a text accepted to contain the "sacred writings of a religion",<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> while <i>The Oxford center of Dictionary of World Religions</i> states it refers to a text "having [religious] authority and often collected into an accepted canon".<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In modern times, this equation of the written word with religious texts is particular to the <a href="English_language" title="English language">English language</a>, and is not retained in most other languages, which usually add an adjective like "<a href="Sacred" class="mw-redirect" title="Sacred">sacred</a>" to denote religious texts.

</p><p>Some religious texts are categorized as canonical, some non-canonical, and others extracanonical, semi-canonical, deutero-canonical, pre-canonical or post-canonical.<sup id="cite_ref-McDonaldCharlesworth2012_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-McDonaldCharlesworth2012-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The term "canon" is derived from the Greek word "<span title="Greek-language text"><span lang="el" style="font-style: normal;">κανών</span></span>", "a cane used as a measuring instrument". It connotes the sense of "measure, standard, norm, rule". In the modern usage, a religious canon refers to a "catalogue of sacred scriptures" that is broadly accepted to "contain and agree with the rule or canon of a particular faith", states Juan Widow.<sup id="cite_ref-Widow2018p22_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Widow2018p22-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The related terms such as "non-canonical", "extracanonical", "deuterocanonical" and others presume and are derived from "canon". These derived terms differentiate a corpus of religious texts from the "canonical" literature. At its root, this differentiation reflects the sects and conflicts that developed and branched off over time, the competitive "acceptance" of a common minimum over time and the "rejection" of interpretations, beliefs, rules or practices by one group of another related socio-religious group.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The earliest reference to the term "canon" in the context of "a collection of sacred Scripture" is traceable to the 4th-century CE. The early references, such as the <a href="Synod_of_Laodicea" class="mw-redirect" title="Synod of Laodicea">Synod of Laodicea</a>, mention both the terms "canonical" and "non-canonical" in the context of religious texts.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Authority_of_religious_texts">Authority of religious texts</h2></div>
