Bible

The Bible was the central book of several religions on Earth, most notably Christianity. The Bible was made up of two major sections, the Old Testament (covering early human history and prophecies) and the New Testament (covering primarily the life and history of the religious leader known as Jesus, as well as apocalyptic prophecies).

In A.D. 64, the First Doctor criticised Amos, Rayhab and Reuben's Greek translation, noting it to be "as dry as stale bread". He advised them to follow their inspiration, rather than aim for accuracy. (PDA: Byzantium!) In 1605, he observed the translation of the Bible into the English language. (MA: The Plotters)

In 1609, Cardinal Robert Bellarmine used the Bible as a guideline while moderating the Armageddon Convention. (MA: The Empire of Glass)

In 1943, Reverend Wainwright tried to hold back attacking Haemovores with his faith in the Bible, but his faith was too weak and they overwhelmed him. (DW: The Curse of Fenric)

In 2003, an archaeological expedition used the Bible as a guide in their search for Noah's Ark. (NA: Eternity Weeps)

In 2008, Sarah Jane Smith quoted the Book of Revelation in the Bible to Mrs Wormwood. (SJA: Invasion of the Bane) That same year, Ianto Jones quoted biblical verses after the Cardiff Rift was opened. Jack told him stop as his chosen quotes referred to the end of days and were damaging morale. (TW: End of Days)

Behind the scenes
As far as the Doctor's travels are concerned, the franchise has generally avoided making references to the Time Lord being present at, or involved in, any of the events featured or referenced in the Bible. A notable exception occurs in DW: Voyage of the Damned in which the Tenth Doctor claims that he took the last room at the inn in Bethlehem, which forced Joseph and Mary to find alternative accommodation. (The Doctor's purpose for being there is left unstated).

Another possible exception occurs in DW: Planet of the Dead, in which the Tenth Doctor claims he was present as "the original" Easter, though he is interrupted after saying "What really happened..." before he can specify whether he means the resurrection of Jesus (the event Easter commemorates) or the first formal celebration of Easter, and before he can elaborate further as "what really happened".
