FWIW, I'm willing to extend the term to other religious artefacts as well -- icons, the Eucharist, etc. "Sacred" does not necessarily mean "uniquely divinely inspired", but it *does* mean "religious" -- and the problem with calling any secular document "sacred" is that you elevate it beyond its purely secular function and into something else. **which bible?
