Bibolatry

There is a genuine word 'bibliolatry', which refers to worship of the bible. But I don't like it. It's awkward to say and places the emphasis on the first part. So here's a new word: 'bibolatry'. I reckon this is a much better word for combining 'bible' and 'idolatry' and should join the new lexicon alongside such terms as 'churchianity'.

I have just published a new book, which contains a chapter about bibolatry, although the overall content is much wider. Fibs, Lies and Scripture looks at some of the many ways that scripture is misused and abused. Give it a go!
