Most religions have religious texts they view as sacred. Many religions and spiritual movements believe that their sacred texts are wholly divine or spiritually inspired in origin. The names of sacred scriptures are often capitalized as a mark of respect or tradition.The word scripture gets its original meaning from Greek word graphe:
grafh
graphe
graf-ay
which means "writing," "a document," or "Holy Writ." The writings (or documents) of the Old and New Testaments were eventually canonized and are the collection of the books of the bible.
