Question

Which is the holy book of Christians?
a. Bhagavad Gita
b. Bible
c. Quran
d. Guru Granth Sahib

Answer 1

Hint: The holy book of Christians was compiled by the disciples of Jesus Christ, in the first century AD.

Complete answer:
The Holy books are a compilation of the teachings of that religion.
Let’s look at our options one by one:
a. Bhagavad Gita - The Bhagavad Gita is a part of the Indian epic Mahabharata, which contains 600 verses. It contains the teachings of Lord Krishna, considered to be the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. So, it is an incorrect option.
b. Bible - The Bible was compiled in the first century AD in Europe by four disciples of Jesus Christ — Saint Mark, Saint John, Saint Mathew and Saint Luke. So, it is the correct option.
c. Quran - The Quran was compiled under the reign of the Caliphs of the Arabian region, which consist of the teachings of Prophet Mohammad. It also depicts the basic tenets of Islam. So, it is an incorrect option.
d. Guru Granth Sahib - The Guru Granth Sahib is the holy book of the Sikhs, which was patronised by the 10 Sikh Gurus over a period of 300 years. It is a part of the Adi Granth, worshipped on the Akal Takht by the Sikhs. So, it is an incorrect option.
Hence, the correct option is, ‘b. Bible’.

Note: Since the books were compiled at different periods in the past, they can be easily solved using the chronology of their founding years. Hinduism is the oldest religion and Sikhism is the newest, while Christianity originated in the first century AD.
