{{div col}}

=== Zoroastrianism ===
{{main|Zoroastrianism}}
Primary religious texts (the [[Avesta]] collection):
* The ''[[Yasna]]'', the primary liturgical collection, includes the ''[[Gathas]]''.
* The ''[[Visperad]]'', a collection of supplements to the ''Yasna''.
* The ''[[Yasht]]s'', hymns in honor of the divinities.
* The ''[[Vendidad]]'', describes the various forms of evil spirits and ways to confound them.
* shorter texts and prayers, the [[Yashts]], the five ''[[Nyaishes]]'' ("worship, praise"), the ''[[Sirozeh]]'' and the ''[[Afringans]]'' (blessings).

There are some 60 secondary religious texts, none of which are considered scripture. The most important of these are:
* The ''[[Denkard]]'' ([[Middle Persian]], 'Acts of Religion'),
* The ''[[Bundahishn]]'', (Middle Persian, 'Primordial Creation')
* The ''[[Menog-i Khrad]]'', (Middle Persian, 'Spirit of Wisdom')

=== Yazidi ===
{{main|Yazidi}}
The true core texts of the Yazidi religion that exist today are the hymns, known as ''qawls''. Spurious examples of so-called "Yazidi religious texts" include the [[Yazidi Black Book]] and the [[Yazidi Book of Revelation]], which are believed to have been forged in the early 20th century; the Yazidi Black Book, for instance, is thought to be a combination of genuine Yazidi beliefs and Western forgeries.<ref name="iryez2">{{Iranica|yazidis-i-general-1|Yazidis i.

=== Christianity ===

==== Bible ====
{{Further|Biblical canon}}
The contents of [[Christian Bible]]s differ by denomination.

* The [[Canon of Trent]] defines a canonical list of books of the [[Catholic Bible]] that includes the whole 73-book canon recognized by the [[Catholic Church]], including the [[deuterocanonical books]]. (In versions of the [[Latin Vulgate]], [[3 Esdras]], [[4 Esdras]], and the [[Prayer of Manasseh]] are included in an appendix, but considered non-canonical, and are not included in modern Catholic Bibles).
* Most [[Protestant Bible]]s include the [[Hebrew Bible]]'s 24 books (the [[protocanonical books]]) divided differently (into 39 books) and the 27-book [[New Testament]] for a total of 66 books. Some denominations (e.g. [[Anglicanism]]) also include the 14 books of the [[biblical apocrypha]] between the Old Testament and the New Testament, for a total of 80 books.
* [[Eastern Orthodox|Eastern Orthodox Bibles]] include the ''[[anagignoskomena]]'', which consist of the Catholic deuterocanon, plus [[3 Maccabees]], [[Psalm 151]], the [[Prayer of Manasseh]], and [[3 Esdras]]; The [[4 Maccabees|Fourth Book of Maccabees]] is considered to be canonical by the [[Georgian Orthodox Church]].{{efn|Eastern Orthodox also generally divide Baruch and Letter of Jeremiah into two books instead of one. The enumeration of the Books of Ezra is different in many Orthodox Bibles, as it is in all others: see [[Esdras|the naming conventions of the Books of Esdras]].}} The [[Septuagint]], the Greek translation of the Old Testament, is authoritative.
* The [[Church of the East]] includes most of the deuterocanonical books of the Old Testament which are found in the [[Peshitta]] (The Syriac Version of the Bible). The New Testament in modern versions contains the 5 [[Antilegomena|disputed books]] (2 Peter, 2 John, 3 John, Jude, and Revelation) that were originally excluded.
* In [[Oriental Orthodoxy]], the [[biblical canon]] differs in each [[Patriarchate]].
** The [[Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church]] has at various times included a variety of books in the New Testament which are not included in the canons of other traditions.
** The [[Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church]] (and its daughter, the [[Eritrean Orthodox Church]]) accept various books according to either of the [[Orthodox Tewahedo biblical canon|Narrower or the Broader Canons]] but always include the entire Catholic deuterocanon, the [[Prayer of Manasseh]], [[3 Ezra]], [[4 Ezra]], and [[Josippon|The Book of Josippon]]. They may also include the [[Book of Jubilees]], [[Book of Enoch]], [[1 Baruch]], [[4 Baruch]], as well as [[Meqabyan|1, 2, and 3 Meqabyan]] (no relation to the Books of Maccabees). The New Testament contains the [[Sinodos]], the [[Books of the Covenant]], [[First Clement|Clement]], and the [[Didascalia]].
* Some [[Syriac Christianity|Syrian Churches]], regardless of whether they are Eastern Catholic, Nestorian, Oriental or Eastern Orthodox, accept the [[Letter of Baruch]] as scripture.
* Some early [[Religious Society of Friends|Quakers]] also included the [[Epistle to the Laodiceans]].<ref>{{Citation|last=Angell|first=Stephen W|chapter=Renegade Oxonian: Samuel Fisher's Importance in Formulating a Quaker Understanding of Scripture|pages=137–154|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=9781107279575|doi=10.1017/cbo9781107279575.010|title=Early Quakers and Their Theological Thought 1647–1723|year=2015|editor1-last=Angell|editor1-first=Stephen W|editor2-last=Dandelion|editor2-first=Pink}}</ref>

==== Additional and alternative scriptures ====
Some Christian denominations have additional or alternate holy scriptures, some with authoritativeness similar to the Old Testament and New Testament.
* The [[Unification Church]] includes the ''[[Divine Principle]]'' in its holy scriptures.
* [[Gnostic Christianity]] rejected the narrative in [[Pauline Christianity]] that the arrival of Jesus had to do with the forgiveness of sins, and instead were concerned with illusion and enlightenment. [[Gnostic texts]] include [[Gnostic gospel]]s about the life of Jesus, books attributed to various apostles, apocalyptic writings, and philosophical works. Though there is some overlap with some New Testament works, the rest were eventually considered heretical by Christian orthodoxy. Gnostics generally did not include the Old Testament as canon. They believed in two gods, one of which was [[Yahweh]] (generally considered evil), the author of the Hebrew Bible and god of the Jews, separate from a Supreme God who sent Jesus.
** [[Marcion's canon]] included only the [[Gospel of Marcion]] and a set of [[Pauline epistles]] which overlap with the canon of orthodox [[Pauline Christianity]]. His gospel was a version of the [[Gospel of Luke]] that did not contain any references to the Old Testament.
** The [[Cainites]] apparently used the [[Gospel of Judas]].

=====Latter Day Saint movement=====
{{Further|Standard works}}
* The [[Protestant Bible]]
* [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] (LDS Church) uses the [[LDS edition of the Bible|LDS edition]] of the [[King James Bible]] for English-speaking members; other versions are used in non-English speaking countries. The [[Community of Christ]] (RLDS) uses the [[Joseph Smith Translation]], which it calls the ''Inspired Version'', as well as updated modern translations, mainly the NRSV.
* The [[Book of Mormon]]

==== Doctrines and laws ====
{{Further|Christian theology|Biblical law in Christianity}}
Various Christian denominations have texts which define the doctrines of the group or set out laws which are considered binding. The groups consider these to range in permanence from unquestionable interpretations of divine revelations to human decisions made for convenience or elucidation which are subject to reconsideration.

* Doctrines such as the [[Trinity]], the [[Virgin Birth (Christian doctrine)|virgin birth]] and [[atonement in Christianity|atonement]]
* The [[Ten Commandments]] ({{langx|hbo|{{Script/Hebrew|עֲשֶׂרֶת הַדִּבְּרוֹת}}|Aseret ha'Dibrot}}), also known in Christianity as the '''Decalogue''', are a set of biblical principles relating to ethics and worship.
* The distinctive '''[[Calvinist]]''' doctrine of [[Predestination (Calvinism)|"double" predestination]].
* In '''Catholicism''', the concept of [[Magisterium]] reserves matters of religious interpretation to the church, with various [[Magisterium#Levels|levels of infallibility]] expressed in various documents.
** [[Infallibility of the Church]] is applied to:
*** In the Catholic Church, [[papal infallibility]] of a very small number of papal decrees. Most documents produced by the [[Pope]], including the [[Catechism of the Catholic Church]] are considered subject to revision.
** To the decisions of [[ecumenical council]]s in Catholic, some Orthodox, and some Protestant denominations, though the non-Catholic denominations only accept certain councils as genuinely ecumenical.
** The [[Salvation Army]] ''Handbook of Doctrine''<ref>{{cite book|url=https://www.salvationarmy.org/doctrine/handbookdoctrine|author=Salvation Army International Theological Council|title=Handbook of Doctrine|location=London|publisher=Salvation Books|year=2010|isbn=978-0-85412-822-8}}</ref>

* The '''[[Christian Science]]''' textbook ''[[Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures]]'' by [[Mary Baker Eddy]], along with the Bible, serves as the permanent "impersonal pastor" of the [[Church of Christ, Scientist]].
* The '''[[Methodist Church of Great Britain]]''' refers to the "doctrines to which the preachers of the Methodist Church are pledged" as ''doctrinal standards''.<ref>[https://www.methodist.org.uk/about-us/the-methodist-church/doctrine-of-the-methodist-church/ Doctrine of the Methodist Church], accessed 25 may 2018</ref>
