Criticism of the Bible refers to a variety of criticisms of the Bible, the collection of religious texts held to be sacred by Christianity, Judaism, Samaritanism, and other Abrahamic religions. Criticisms of the Bible often concern the text’s factual accuracy, moral tenability, and supposed inerrancy claimed by biblical literalists. There remain questions of biblical authorship and what material to include in the biblical canon.
In direct opposition to such criticisms are devout Christians who regard the Bible as the perfect word of God (fundamentalist Jews have held the Hebrew Bible in similar high regard).
