And how about, "Koran,"?
There IS just one of each, correct?

"Bible" is capitalized if you're using it as a title, but not if you're referring to an actual physical object, e.g.:
The Bible is made up of the Old and New Testaments.
but
Grab my bible from that bookshelf, please.

They are both supposed to start with capital letters; but the entire word does not have to be capitalized. This is because they are proper nouns. And the correct spelling is Quran, not Koran. I also believe there are many different versions of the Bible, depending on which sect you belong to. Hope this helps.

"Bible" is actually an acronym. It is the acronym for "Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth". I know that the Bible is capitalized in a lot of sentences. I don't know about the koran.

yes. they are both supposed to be capitalized (i know that for sure about the Bible, but im not 100% sure about the Koran, but it would make sense that it would be capitalized also)

The Bible should be capitalized, but it is NOT the only one. Martin Luther made a bible, called The Book of Common Prayer.
The Q'uran there is only one of.

Both The Bible and the Quran are proper names and proper names are capitalised
