I heard people talking about a Rent Bible and was wondering if this was it. I want to get the rent bible for someone for christmas and don't know if its the right one.
Thanks for the help!

That depends on whether or not you prefer fiction over fact. If you like facts, then no.

Can I possibly ask why this is called a 'bible?'
Is it holy?

People got confused using the term "Rent book" because then people thought they meant just the libretto, but this is more than that.
I don't call it the bible but I don't object to people using it.

Posted: 12/13/05 at 4:28pmIt is called the "bible" because it is the most detailed writtenn account on Rent's genesis

uhhh- ok
I don't know that I would refer to anything as a 'bible' besides the real thing. I am not religious so I am not offended by it but I can see if some people may be offended by it.

Posted: 12/13/05 at 5:39pmI enjoy the fact that I was in my friend's room one night and when I said "Hey, hand me the bible," she reached right past her giant New King James and handed me the Rent book. :) Just thought I'd share.
#19re: Rent- Is this the 'bible'?
Posted: 12/13/05 at 5:52pmI have the Bible but I have to wait till Christmas to get the movie soundtrack, and till my birthday in February to get Anthony's book (I hope he comes to LA!)...

Posted: 12/13/05 at 7:37pmI love my RENT bible. I got Anthony to sign it when I saw him in the Little Shop tour.

#22re: Rent- Is this the 'bible'?
Posted: 12/13/05 at 7:40pmWell, to call it "the bible" is a bit silly, but I thought it's generally called "the Rent bible." I have no problem with that.

It is indeed my bible. I kiss, i hug it, i even bow to it.
Ok, i'm done.

Posted: 12/13/05 at 7:56pmWell, I'm an athiest, so the Rent bible is the closest thing to my bible. I didn't call it the Rent bible because we were listening to Rent at the time so I knew she knew what I was talking about, but still. The ACTUAL Bible was right in front of her and she reached right past. :)
