__TOC__
== Summary ==
Scriptural texts, like the [[Bible]] and the [[Quran]], are [[WP:PRIMARY|primary sources]] only suitable for attributed, relevant quotes and in compliance with other Wikipedia content policies and guidelines. Content that interprets or summarizes scriptural passages or narratives should generally be cited to appropriate scholarly sources (for example, in the academic field of [[religious studies]]) and [[WP:INTEXT|attributed]] when appropriate. Analysis of scriptural content by Wikipedia editors is prohibited by the [[WP:NOR|Wikipedia policy regarding original research]], and a 2020 discussion found no consensus on whether unsourced summaries of scriptural texts should be allowed under [[MOS:PLOTSOURCE]].
