 The Holy Piby and Rastafari: The Life of Bob Marley   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
The true foundation of Rastafari is the Holy Piby, the "Black Man's Bible," compiled by Robert Athlyi Rogers of Anguilla from 1913 to 1917.
Meeting immediately with much persecution from the Fundamentalist, Revivalist and more conventional Christian church leaders for their adherence to the occult Bible, Goodridge and Garrison fled into the bush country of the parish of St. Thomas, in Eastern Jamaica, and it was there that the seeds of Rastafarianism were implanted.
Early Rasta leaders like Leonard P. Howell gravitated to the forbidden encampments to read the Holy Piby-purportedly the closest thing to the first Bible, which was said to have been written in Amharic (for centuries the official language of Ethiopia, and allegedly the original language of mankind).

In most cases, the text IS the religion, and is the word of the central deity; in some cases, the sole of account of said deity.
On one hand you explain away religious texts as attempts to explain things ancients didn't understand; and on the other hand, you are acknowledging that deities exist.

 A List Apart: Articles: Dynamic Text Replacement
Sticking with the traditional typefaces is smart for body text, but when it comes to our headings — short, attention-grabbing blocks of text — it would be nice to have some choice in the matter.
Most sites that replace text with images do so using hand-made images, which isn’t so terrible when there are a set number of headings, but it quickly becomes unmanageable on a site that is updated several times per day.
That’s because the text that we’re using to produce these images will be passed to the script via its URL.

 Universalist National Memorial Church: Sermon text: "Holy Land"
I suspect many of you have had an opportunity to share the Passover Seder with Jewish friends and will recall, as I do, the moment when all declare, “Next year in Jerusalem!’’ It is, in one sense, a political statement of a people, in Diaspora, vowing to return to their homeland.
But, I think you suspect that I am not speaking so literally as to mean that the Holy Land, at least exclusively, is in the Middle East, or Northern Wisconsin, or in the desert of Arizona where the Navajo live, or even Inside the Beltway.
In short, it is his courageous struggle with himself in the night that permits him to return to the Holy Land and live a life of authenticity and meaning and significance.

Part of Heber's collection of hymns for use with the Anglican Church calendar, "Holy, Holy, Holy" was acclaimed by the British Poet Laureate, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, as "the world's greatest hymn." It is perhaps the best known of more than 50 hymn texts by Heber.
"Holy, Holy, Holy" was first published in 1826, the year of Heber's premature death, in A Selection of Psalms and Hymns for the Parish Church of Banbury.
In the vast majority, the text and tune are identical to the definitive rendering in the 1861 English hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern.

 sciforums.com - What makes a holy text holy?
To me, calling any text "holy" is traditionalism taken to the extreme.
I don't believe that the Quran is holy because it says so or because my parents were born as so called muslims.
Furthermore, the Holy Book cannot, as can merely human works, be contemplated at a distance; it cannot be discussed and debated in the abstract.
