- Christianity is based entirely on the Bible.
- Judaism's Bible is called the Tanach, which they divide into three sections: Teachings, the Prophets, and the Writings; Judaism also places great importance on ancient commentaries but considers them subordinate to the Tanakh itself. The Christian Old Testament was based on the Tanach but was altered to support the teachings of Christianity. The Old Testament is not considered a valid religious text within Judaism.
- Islam considers the Bible to be an important historical and religious book, but considers the Quran to be more important and more accurate.
- Mormonism (the name of the organization is formally "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints") believes that the Bible was correct when it was written but that the versions we have today have been corrupted over the years; Mormonism considers the Book of Mormon to be superior to the Bible.
- Jehovah's Witnesses use "The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures" Bible. Contrary to common belief, it hardly differs from other translations. In fact, the only major difference is that this translation has kept God's personal name - Jehovah, whereas other translations have removed this name. Jehovah's Witnesses do not reject other translations; rather, they actually often refer to other translations.
