Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You wanted the opinion of a librarian, and here it is: Bibles are placed in nonfiction!. In libraries, "Fiction" doesn't mean "false" and "Nonfiction" doesn't mean "true!." (We try to let readers decide for themselves what is true or false!.) "Fiction" is a literary genre that includes novels and short stories, and "nonfiction" is everything else!. Since the Bible is neither a novel nor a collection stories, it goes in nonfiction!. If you live in the United States, your library almost certainly uses either the Dewey Decimal Classification or the Library of Congress Classification!. In the DDC, numbers 220-229 are for the Bible: 220 Bible 221 Old Testament (Tanakh) 222 Historical books of Old Testament 223 Poetic books of Old Testament 224 Prophetic books of Old Testament 225 New Testament 226 Gospels & Acts 227 Epistles 228 Revelation (Apocalypse) 229 Apocrypha & pseudepigrapha In the LCC, the class BS is for the Bible (make of that what you will): BS1-680 General BS701-1830 Old Testament BS1901-2970 New TestamentWww@QuestionHome@Com Everyone's trying to make a statement here!.!.!.
