I know! I included it because regardless of whether it’s a load of tripe or the actual word of god – it’s certainly had a profound effect on the Western philosophical canon (albeit perhaps an obstructive one). Also vainly wanted to beef up the list a bit :)

The New Testament contains some of the most influential ethical writings in the canon of Western Philosophy. For that reason alone, the Bible should count as a work of philosophy.
