I would say the religious/spiritual section like Father K said. We need to accept the Bible on its own terms (the self-revelation of God) and not expect it to be something that it does not promise to be. Some parts of the Bible are historical records. Parts that are not historical records are as much inspired as those that are. God can and does inspire fiction, which has its own way of telling the truth. A poem can be just as true as a documentary, although each is true in its own way.

OK, I take it that you have never been to a library....
All libraries are divided into fiction and non-fiction books.
The fiction books are organized alphabetically by the author's last name, then book title.
The non-fiction books are organized using a system developed by Thomas Dewey, which divides the non-fiction books into one of ten major catagories. Thus the system is called the Dewey Decimal System (for "10").
The first catagory in the system is "Religion and Philosophy". The Bible is included in that catagory. Each version or edition of the Bible has been assigned a unique number with the religion catagory and the Christian subcatagory.
So the answer is that you will find it on the first shelf of the fiction section.

The Bible is in the Non-fiction category of all libraries in America at least.

Reference materials.
Also, there is a Religion section.
BTW the Library has ALWAYS been divided into fiction and non-fiction!

Interesting question. at our public library I was shocked to learn the "left behind" christian book series is under "science fiction" and not christianity.

In your library where ever you place it. It is a personal decision. I treasure my Bible. To me it is the Word of Truth. It is my God's life manual for me, us.
