How do you cite the Bible in a bibliography?

Erica B asked:

I wrote a paper for my world religions class that included quotations from the Bible. Do I have to include this in my bibliography, and if so, how do I cite in MLA style?

   editor, date published, page, all that good stuff. all the info should be on the back of the title page. follow “book no author” guidelines.

   The Bible (specific editions)
   Give the name of the specific edition, any editor(s) associated with it, followed by the publication information

   The New Jerusalem Bible. Susan Jones, gen. ed. New York: Doubleday, 1985.

   Your parenthetical citation will include the name of the specific edition of the Bible, followed by an abbreviation of the book and chapter:verse(s), e.g., (The New Jerusalem Bible Gen. 1:2-6).
