In English, the Good Book is a metonymic for The Bible. Being by far one of the most influential books in Western culture, it is a natural quote source when wanting to lend some gravitas to a fictional situation. Having a character quote from it lets us know they're either a scholar, a priest, deeply religious, a bonafide supernatural being or a psychopath. But also, having such a far-reaching influence, quoting it sounds familiar enough that it might be recognizable to many members of the audience. The fact that the Bible's text is numerically divided into relatively short chapters and verses also makes it easy to refer to. A Bible quote can be an effective literary tool if used in a meaningful context, but, outside it, it's an obvious, major cop-out. It has been observed before that even the devil can quote the Bible to his own advantage by choosing his verses with care.specifically"Thus I clothe my naked villainy with old odd ends stolen forth from holy writ, and seem a saint when most I play the devil." Richard III, Act I, scene III note This happens in The Bible itself, even: see Luke 4:9-10. Parodies may include entirely fake and comical-sounding biblical verses, word swaps in the well-known verses which entirely change their meaning, or quoting some other book, mundane but supposedly holy to this character, in a manner clearly reminiscent of the Bible. The parody can also involve one character misquoting the Bible to point out that another character's quote is not actually from the Bible, either. note Certain classic works based on the Bible is more likely to be cause of confusion, like "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven" or "Abandon hope all ye who enter here", which are not from the Bible. On the other hand, there are some works that have eclipsed the original Bible verses, like the Hallelujah chorus in Handel's Messiah, which may trick people into thinking it was originally from the music, even though the lyrics did come from the Bible. Commonly used for Love Is Like Religion. Compare Literary Allusion Title, which often serves a similar purpose. Contrast Useful Book, where a "good book" means something else entirely.

Batman: Arkham Asylum: In the original, one of the Arkham Chronicles mentions Poison Ivy being brought in by someone. Amadeus Arkham quotes Exodus 22:18 in this one: In Batman: Arkham Origins, during the Predator Challenge aboard the Final Offer, Alberto Falcone's bodyguard quotes Matthew 5:5 in saying, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth" - insinuating that although the family is currently struggling with running their crime empire, they will arise as the victor in the ongoing turf wars. One of Penguin's goons, not familiar with the proverb, mishears the word "meek" as "weak" and instead thinks he's insulting him. |

Watchmen: Would the Judge of All the Earth not do Right? (Doctor Manhattan = God; from Genesis 18:25.) Shortly after he is transformed, Dr. Manhattan is asked what he says to the people comparing him to God: he replies that he doesn't think there is a God, and if there is, it's certainly not him. He later ruminates over this, and (in a Genius Bonus reference to 'The Blind Watchmaker') wonders if a watch can occur without a watchmaker. |

Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): The Many's dialogue makes clear references to the Bible at times, fitting with how their Hive Mind is a disturbing mix of Horror Hunger and fanaticism. It seems to be a kind of family trait: the Many and Keizer Ghidorah's heads both respectively reference Genesis 3:5 in particular. | |

Fiddler on the Roof employs this exact phrase with Tevye, even though we already know that he's deeply religious. There's no ulterior symbolism, other than to portray him as a religious, down-to-earth man living in a devout, tradition-bound culture. Mostly Played for Laughs, as he gets most of the quotes wrong and makes up some of them out of the air without realizing it: Humorously defied at one point, as shown in the page quote: Tevye, speaking to God, begins to quote the Good Book out of habit, then has a moment of Fridge Logic when he realizes that God, of all people, would know what the Good Book says. |

The Simpsons: Homer sometimes uses the Bible to "justify" male chauvinism, arguing against Marge working outside the home with "Thou shalt not... horn in on thy husband's... racket" and telling Lisa that the Bible commands girls to stick to "girls' sports" like hot-oil wrestling and foxy-boxing. In Season Three's "Lisa the Greek": In Season Three's "The Otto Show": In Season Four's "Homer the Heretic": In Season Four's "Duffless", Homer tries to sneak out of the nuclear plant via a secret escape route. He encounters a giant spider, and his map says that he can get rid of it by quoting a Bible verse. Pretty quickly, Homer gives up and just pegs it between the eyes with a rock, knocking it right out. Reverend Lovejoy uses his "knowledge" of the Bible to defend the sadistic snake-beating "Whacking Day" holiday ("Whacketh all the serpents that crawl upon their bellies and thy town shall be a beacon unto others."), refusing to let Lisa check his bible for that. In "Secrets of a Successful Marriage", after Marge kicks Homer out of the house, the Lovejoys both advise Marge to divorce him. In "Treehouse of Horror VIII", Lisa quotes "Judge, not lest ye be judged" for the town's Insane Troll Logic on determining if Marge is a witch. Wiggum just counters with "The Bible says a lot of things. Shove her!" |

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri quotes the Bible at various points, usually as part of the description of some new civilization-changing secret project. It quotes plenty of other literary works, too, including several written by characters in the game. In particular, the game's opening cutscene begins with a quote from Genesis. The Universal Translator's quotation of the Bible comes across as very creepy, given the project's cutscene. So do Civilization IV and V, for which the Bible is the single most common source of quotes, particularly for early-game techs. The Biblical quote for the tech "Priesthood" in IV is a particularly elaborate Shout-Out to the narrator, Leonard Nimoy: it's the Priestly Blessing. |

Call of Juarez: The original features Reverend Ray, who quotes fire and brimstone Bible scripture every other line. A much straighter example is found in Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, where William constantly cites the Bible to that very Ray, trying to prevent him from falling to The Dark Side. His words fail but his actions don't. Call of Juarez: Gunslinger has the phrase "Luke 16:28" engraved on the side of the upgraded rifle. The quote reads "For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment." (KJV), clearly referencing Silas' quest for vengeance on his brothers' killers. |

Seen in 1776: When the Southern states have walked out of Congress over the slavery clause, Dickinson gloats at Adams and Chase (who has just arrived with the badly mistimed and insufficient good news that he's talked Maryland into supporting independence) with the deliberate misquote, "What shall a man be profited if he shall gain Mary-land, but lose the entire South?" He then smirks and adds, "Matthew, chapter 16, verse 26" before walking out himself. The meaning — that all of Adams' attempts to procure independence had just gone up in smoke and his winning over of Maryland was Pyrrhic — would haunt Dickinson the next day when it became clear he and he alone really opposed independence on principle thanks to a last-second compromise by Adams and South Carolina's Edward Rutledge. | |

Assassin's Creed: In one eavesdropping mission, one of the two men Altaïr's listening to claims that "God helps those who help themselves" is a Bible quote, thus justifying his unsavory activities. The other man promptly corrects him, saying it's from one of Aesop's Fables. The ending of the game leaves out subtlety and just quotes Bible verses outright. During the scene with Altaïr looking at the holographic map of the Earth, a voice in the background directly quotes a verse from the book of Ecclesiastes. Additionally, once Deus Ex Machina graciously gives Desmond the ability to use his Assassin's vision just as he learns he will soon be executed, you can see quotes from various religious books and legends on the wall above his bed, including one from the book of Revelation. |

The Binding of Isaac: Wrath of the Lamb, the first expansion for the original game, is a reference to Revelation 6:16, which reads "They called to the mountains and the rocks, 'Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb!'" The theme for Rebirth is titled Genesis 22:10, which reads "Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son." Fitting considering the game's name and premise, of course. The boss theme for the penultimate final boss of Repentance, Dogma, has lyrics consisting of Biblical quotes, as delivered by the fire-and-brimstone preacher that drove Isaac's mother insane. |

Played with at one point in an episode of Overlord (2012) when Ainz quotes John 15:13 (Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.) when discussing Heroic Sacrifice with the NPCs. However, he claims it's a saying he and his guild mates used to use, rather than scripture. But since the NPCs a) don't know about the Bible, and b) believe Ainz and his guild mates were gods, it amounts to the same thing in their minds. | |

Especially his use of Psalm 137:1 + 7-9 to express his belief that one should Pay Evil unto Evil to the White Legs. His unique sidearm has John 1:5 ("And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness [hath] comprehended it not"; KJV) engraved in the slide in Greek. | |

To all who think Dungeons & Dragons is witchcraft, let it be known that its creator Gary Gygax used Matthew 5:16 in his e-mail signature. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." He was a Christian and made that clear when lurid accusations were made against D&D in the 1980s (not that it stopped them of course). | |

It's the favorite quote of the protagonist's mother and "Waters of Life" forms the Arc Words of the game. It also provides the passcode needed for final moment Heroic Sacrifice. Another one can be seen with the birthdate of the main character (7/13/2258). Micah 7:13 reads, "And the earth will become desolate because of her inhabitants, on account of the fruit of their deeds." It aptly describes the Fallout series as a whole. |

Parodied in Black Lagoon, in which Eda paraphrases part of Luke 11 as a sophisticated way of saying "get the fuck off my porch" to someone trying to seek sanctuary in the church. When the people after the woman in question come calling and fire a shot into the church, on the other hand, things get very violent very quickly. | |

The Four Gospels: Jesus quotes the traditional interpretation of the Old Testament quite a few times to make a point and contrast his new Christian ethics against the older ones. The Devil tossed references to scripture in the desert to convince Jesus to break His fast, test God, and bow to himself in exchange for powers. In each of these instances, Jesus rebukes the Devil and points to other Biblical verses that explain exactly why Jesus shouldn't give into these temptations. |

Surprisingly, for a story about a nun that hunts demons, the manga of Chrono Crusade doesn't do this once. However, Gonzo's anime adaption gleefully adds it back in, having both Joshua and Aion quote the Bible in an attempt to portray Aion as some sort of antichrist. Aion even quotes the Bible as his last words. | |

Far Cry 5: Joseph Seed frequently quotes the Bible's verses on the end of the world. The trailer introducing Pastor Jeffries has him appearing to read from his bible, specifically his words seem to be a version of Jeremiah 23:1 at least to begin with. A sign outside Pastor Jeffries' church says "Today's reading: Jeremiah 23:16", indicating the beginning of a section of the Bible warning against false prophets who "speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord". |

Joseph: Collapse, being a Far Cry 5-themed DLC expansion, naturally features its own share of Bible references. Among others, Proverbs 27:19 is inscribed on the mirror that you use to obtain character upgrades for Joseph, and Pastor Jeffries can be heard quoting the book of Genesis before he comes out to confront you in Fall's End. |

In Fables, Kay uses a Bible quote about looking at people with lust as an explanation for why he cut his eyes out. In his case, however, it was because he can see all the evil that anybody did in his life by just looking at them, so he's constantly blinding himself to escape the horrors. Unfortunately, due to the magical nature of his curse, they always grow back. | |

In Strange Adventures (2020), the now-retired Adam Strange writes a memoir that includes a dedication to his late daughter — who was lost during the war against the Pykkts — including the line "My life is spent with grief," which Mister Terrific identifies this as a reference from Psalm 31. Its origin ends up becoming very important because it has nothing to do with grief, loss, or even death — in context, the passage is about lamenting one's shame and guilt about the atrocities that one has committed in the name of hurting their enemies that have wronged youExcerpt"For my life is spent with grief, And my years with sighing; My strength fails because of my iniquity, And my bones waste away. I am a reproach among all my enemies, But especially among my neighbors, And am repulsive to my acquaintances; Those who see me outside flee from me.". Combined with many other inconsistencies with Strange's memoir, especially in light of the Pykkt's recent invasion of Earth, Mr. T pieces together that this quote was Strange's hidden confession of bigger misdeeds, having secretly sold out Earth to the Pykkts in exchange for sparing his other home planet of Rann, and using his very-much-alive daughter as a bargaining chip. | |

Red Dead Redemption: The final story mission is named "The Last Enemy That Shall Be Destroyed", which is from I Corinthians 15:26. The game leaves out the last two words of the verse: "...is death," alluding to the fact that John Marston is killed defending his family. Furthermore, John's grave marker reads "Blessed are the peacemakers" in reference to Matthew 5:9. The last mission with Uncle is named "A Continual Feast", a reference to Proverbs 15:15 - "All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast." |

Death Note: After the Bait-and-Switch Credits that make it look like Light's going to do something very noble, the very first we see of him in the first episode is him quoting the Shinto classics (with "kami" unusually translated as "god" in the singular). Factoring in Beauty Equals Goodness, he looks like a noble, pious, upstanding young man. By the end of that very episode, he's embarking on a mass murder spree of criminals as part of a plan to Take Over the World and rule as a god. The sheer speed with which he kills people surprises even the Shinigami who dropped the murder weapon in search of entertainment. The English dub modifies the scene to have Light quoting the Bible; however, the class is implied to simply be an English class. | |

Likewise, Xenosaga, although it is generally more inclined to quote Nietzsche, does borrow a quotation from the Bible: "Ye shall be as gods". This gets a lot more ominous if you happen to recall just who said the original words! Also present in Xenogears, as a message that is repeated endlessly, covering all computer screens on the opening cinematic. In Episode 1, Albedo quotes John 12:24 - "Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone." - to describe his immortality and the fear of living forever while his loved ones die. |

In The Angry Video Game Nerd's episode "Bible Games 3", when the Nerd types out the word "ass" in the Game Boy's The King James Version, and the results got in a list of passages with the word "ass", the following passages he reads are: "Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass..."* Genesis 44:13, which is about eleven of Jacob's sons tearing off their clothes and reloading their donkeys before returning to Egypt "...loose his ox or his ass..."* Luke 13:15, which is about Jesus rebuking the synagogue officials for telling him not to heal on the sabbath day, saying to them, "Does not each one of you untie your ox or your ass from the manger and lead it out for watering?" "...whose ass have I taken?"*1 Samuel 12:3, about Samuel asking the Israelites whether he has committed any sins or not "...deliver unto his neighbour an ass..."*Exodus 22:9 about a person handing an animal to another, and the animal dying or being stolen or maimed without anyone addressing the fact, although the next passage (22:10) has said giver swear an oath that he did not harm anyone else's property, and the owner may accept the oath "Which of you shall have an ass..."*Luke 14:5, about Jesus asking the scribes and Pharisees if one among them would not help their ox or ass (although "ass" is replaced with the word "son" in most modern versions of the Bible) out of the cistern on the sabbath day "...he had found a young ass..."*John 12:14, about Jesus finding an ass' colt and sitting upon it before riding in triumph to Jerusalem on what is now Palm Sunday "...the dumb ass..."*2 Peter 2:16, about St. Peter retelling the story about how Balaam got a rebuke for his crime via a mute donkey that spoke with a human voice and restraining his madness (although Balaam is not portrayed in a bad light in Numbers 22, which is soon to follow, and the words "dumb ass" are replaced by "mute beast" in modern versions of the Bible) "...saddled his ass..."*Numbers 22:21, about the same Balaam riding off to Balak with the princes of Moab on God's command "...opened his sack to give his ass..."*Genesis 42:27, about one of Jacob's sons opening a bag to feed his donkey when he is surprised to find money in the mouth of the bag "...the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass..."*1 Kings 13:28 about a prophet finding the servant of God lying dead on the road, with both the lion and the unharmed donkey standing next to his corpse "...riding upon his ass..."*Numbers 22:22, about the angels of God standing on the road to Balak to make a sneak attack on Balaam as he was riding on his donkey (as mentioned before in the passage preceding it, 22:21), which the Lord possessed to make it talk to Balaam |

Linus van Pelt, of Peanuts, is frequently given to quoting Scripture. Probably the most celebrated instance comes in the animated special A Charlie Brown Christmas, when a frustrated Charlie Brown asks, "Isn't there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?" and Linus duly obliges by reciting Luke 2:8-14. A series of strips, later adapted into You're (Not) Elected, Charlie Brown, has Linus running for Student Council President, with his first campaign speech having him use biblical analogies to describe his administration should he win the election. One strip has Linus claiming that he has the right to choose what to watch on TV since he got there first, only for Lucy to change the channel and say, "In the 19th chapter of the book of Matthew it says, 'Many that are first will be last, and the last first.'*Matthew 19:30 (KJV)". Linus replies, "I'll bet Matthew didn't have an older sister!" Other characters do it as well; for example, in one of the football gags, Charlie Brown cries out, "How long, O Lord?" Lucy recognizes the quote (it's from Isaiah 6:11), and continues and analyzes it, before pulling the football away. In another strip, Snoopy comes in the house. Charlie Brown looks up from the Bible he'd been reading and asks, "What's up? Are you hungry?" Snoopy silently takes his Bible, turns to a page, and hands it back. Charlie Brown reads the indicated passage, Psalms 50:12: "If I were hungry, I would not tell thee." He shouts to Snoopy (now presumably in the kitchen), "Give me a week, and I'll find an answer!" Another strip has Charlie Brown scold Snoopy for taking food from the fridge, by showing him Exodus 20:15: "You shall not steal." Snoopy counters by taking the Bible, turning to another page, and having Charlie Brown read Deuteronomy 25:4: "You shall not muzzle the ox while it treads out the grain." Parodied at one point, in a moment used in one of the animated specials, when Lucy claims that the Bible says that brothers need to get their sisters Christmas gifts, to which Linus replies that that's not actually Biblical. Lucy goes to look it up and proclaims that she was able to find the word "sister" in the Bible - therefore, Linus has to get her a Christmas gift. Lampshaded once, after Peppermint Patty throws out a kid tutoring her because she found out he was getting paid to do so: Of course, Schulz wasn't above deliberately taking a quote out of context for a gag. When Charlie Brown was feeling good from receiving a couple compliments, Linus dragged him back down with "Woe to you when all men speak well of you." from Luke 6. One Sunday strip had Schroeder trying to console Charlie Brown on another lost baseball game with the quote "Man is born to trouble, as the spark flies upward (Job 5:7)." And because Charlie Brown looked confused the entire team rushed in to offer character-appropriate interpretations on the book of Job. Charles Schulz was a Sunday School teacher, and scriptural lessons are sprinkled throughout Peanuts, so much so that a man named Robert L. Short wrote a couple of bestselling "pop theology" books, The Gospel According to Peanuts (1965) and The Parables of Peanuts (1968), analyzing the strip's religious content. |

Claes from Gunslinger Girl frequently shows off her wide reading. Henrietta's breakdown prompts her to quote Ecclesiastes 11:8-9note "Indeed, if a man should live many years, let him rejoice in them all, and let him remember the days of darkness, for they will be many. Everything that is to come will be futility. Rejoice, young man, during your childhood, and let your heart be pleasant during the days of young manhood. And follow the impulses of your heart and the desires of your eyes. Yet know that God will bring you to judgment for all these things.". She never names the chapter or verse, answering Rico's question "Is that poetry?" with "Not quite. It's Biblical". At the start of the series she quotes a shortened version of this to Henrietta, claiming tongue-in-cheek that she came up with the quote herself. When Triela compares Claes' willingness to act as The Bait for a terrorist kidnapping to being a grain of wheat, Claes gives the John 12:24 quote in full, though she denies she's making a Heroic Sacrifice and rejects the idea of being a passive victim. |

Far Cry: Far Cry 4 has "LK1018" engraved on the side of the rocket launcher, and considering that you mostly use it to shoot down helicopters, "And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven." (KJV) is quite apropos. Far Cry 5: Joseph Seed frequently quotes the Bible's verses on the end of the world. The trailer introducing Pastor Jeffries has him appearing to read from his bible, specifically his words seem to be a version of Jeremiah 23:1 at least to begin with. A sign outside Pastor Jeffries' church says "Today's reading: Jeremiah 23:16", indicating the beginning of a section of the Bible warning against false prophets who "speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord". Far Cry 6 The Bliss Rifle, a unique weapon which visually calls back to Eden's Gate from the previous game, has "John 1:9" engraved on its magazines. Joseph: Collapse, being a Far Cry 5-themed DLC expansion, naturally features its own share of Bible references. Among others, Proverbs 27:19 is inscribed on the mirror that you use to obtain character upgrades for Joseph, and Pastor Jeffries can be heard quoting the book of Genesis before he comes out to confront you in Fall's End. |

Wings to Fly makes a somewhat nonstandard use, in that the characters usually do not directly quote the Bible. They will instead usually give a citation of book, chapter, and verse. Whether other characters in the conversation can translate that into an actual quotation is up to them. | |

In The Legend of Total Drama Island, the devoutly religious Ezekiel prepares for a dangerous cliff dive by reciting Psalms 23:4 to himself: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me." | |

In a Pearls Before Swine strip, while Rat is watching a football game, Pig claims that in every football game there is a guy named John who keeps forgetting his watch which forces a buddy of his to hold up a sign telling the time, hence why every game has a guy holding a sign reading "John 3:16" *For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (KJV). Pig starts watching the game after Rat leaves and remarks "Great. Now Luke forgot his watch." The same joke was inverted in a Get Fuzzy strip: Rob gets home and finds a spooked out Satchel sitting in the dark babbling "John 3:16! John 3:16!". He then turns on the lights and says "Your friend John called at 3:16". Another Pearls example◊ shows a squirrel, when fed by Pig, responds by quoting Revelations 18:21. The name of the strip itself comes from Matthew 7:6, in which Jesus, during his Sermon on the Mount, warns his followers not to cast "pearls before swine". |

In the final episodes of Beast Wars, both Optimus Primal and Megatron begin quoting from their scripture, the Covenant of Primus, believing the events that they're a part of are the fulfillment of its prophesies. Megatron also seems to be trying to position himself as an Antichrist figure in the process. | |

The Avengers stories often have had Bible allusions, particularly where The Vision is concerned, as in the issue titles "Where There Is No Vision..." (Proverbs 29:18) and "Your Young Men Shall Slay Visions" (a play on the original verse of Acts 2:17, in which it is "SEE visions"). | |

Red Dead Redemption II: In one camp interaction of the Colter chapter, Rev. Swanson reads a passage from Isaiah 40:20-31 (KJV) to a bunch of women. When one of them asks what this means, Swanson says he's not quite sure what the words meant. Two missions quote Matthew: "Blessed are the meek?" and "Blessed are the peacemakers". The former is the mission where you bust the decidedly not meek Micah out of jail before he's hanged. The latter is a parlay with a rival gang that quickly goes south. A Chapter 3 story mission is called, "Sodom? Back to Gomorrah", which is a reference to a story from the book of Genesis. Arthur's grave will bear an inscription of either Matthew 5:4 (if he died with low Honor) or 5:6 (high Honor). |

And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.", and Unto The Cruel*Proverbs 5:9 (Advising against immoral intentions with women): "Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel.") come from the King James Version of the Bible, mostly completely and utterly out of context. | |

In Batman: Arkham Origins, during the Predator Challenge aboard the Final Offer, Alberto Falcone's bodyguard quotes Matthew 5:5 in saying, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth" - insinuating that although the family is currently struggling with running their crime empire, they will arise as the victor in the ongoing turf wars. One of Penguin's goons, not familiar with the proverb, mishears the word "meek" as "weak" and instead thinks he's insulting him. | |

The online flash series Broken Saints uses religious symbolism and scripture extensively. (The Big Bad has incorporated much of the Book of Revelations into his "Last Judgment" scenario for humanity.) This isn't surprising since the series has been somewhat influenced by apocalyptic pop culture works like The Matrix and Neon Genesis Evangelion. | |

The English stream of letters for the Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG text in Qliphort Monolith reads 「G�d is �ngry �n y�ur d�ing �nd w�nt t� bring fire fl��d�, a reference to Noah's Ark in the Old Testament. The Japanese stream of text is written alternately in hiragana/kanji and katakana to obfuscate it; when converted to the proper grammar it reads 「見よ人�我々�一人�よ���り善悪を知るも�����彼�手を伸�命�木�らも���食�永久�生�る�も�れ��� ("Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:"). This is a direct quote from the biblical verse Genesis 3:22, and references the tree of life in the Old Testament. | |

Cesare - Il Creatore che ha distrutto, besides having a bishop as a main character (alright, an unwilling, 16-year-old bishop, but still), is also recognized as being one of the most meticulously detailed and immersive history manga, so of course there are quite a few of these. A significant one is the color illustration that features the title character holding a scroll that reads "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's", in Latin. | |
