Many people believe that the Bible was divinely inspired, but several biblical authors cite specific reference works that they relied upon in composing their work and many also quote passages from other books of the Bible. Some of those books (that have not yet been found) include:
1. Book of the Generations of Adam (Gen. 5:1)
2. Book of the Covenant (Exod. 24:7)
3. Book of the Wars of the LORD (Num. 21:14)
4. Book of Jasher ( Josh. 10:13, 2 Sam. 1:18)
5. Book of the Law of God ( Josh. 24:26)
6. Book of the Acts of Solomon (1 Kings 11:41)
7. Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel (1 Kings 14:19 and nine other citations)
8. Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah (1 Kings 14:29, and fourteen other citations)

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
