I never noticed that. You're probably right. Still I have to say I find
it very pecular that a bible used in courtlike situation would have a cross
on it. I would have thought they would have wanted a more generic bible in
order to appease more people.
That raises an interesting question. Does that mean the cross is a more
holy symbol than the bible itself?

I'm sure he read it (or had it read to him) during his mortal lifetime.
I'm sure if he can remember all the little details of his life flashbacks,
he can remember biblical quotes ^_^ .

I don't see how you can have a "generic" Bible. The Bible is the
Bible, whether it has an elaborately decorated cover or a plain one.
One thing to note, though, is that a Bible with a cross on it is a
Christian Bible---that is, it contains both the Old and the New
Testament. I would assume that a Jewish witness would prefer to swear
on a Torah, which is the Old Testament, unless he or she affirmed to
tell the truth.

In Nick's case that might just be the truth. The cross is the
essential Catholic symbol, one that Nick would have revered in life.
The Bible, on the other hand, is something that Catholics are not
encouraged to read, and in Nick's mortal lifetime, many would not have
had the opportunity to do so. The lessons of the Bible are taught to
you and interpreted for you by priests.
This might be surprising to non-Catholic Christians---I attended
Catholic school right through college and it wasn't until I took a
theology class as a college sophomore that I had ever read anything of
the Old Testament. I know my parents, both very devout Catholics,
never read the Bible.
I think it could be possible that for Nick, the book itself---the
physical manifestation of the Bible---is not revered as much as the
symbol of the Cross. It's the words, the concepts, the stories as
relayed by the representatives of Christ on earth, the priests, that
are sacred.

It's also quite possible he read it himself, maybe during the Reformtaion.
Just because he's Catholic doesn't mean he wouldn't be curious about the debates.
And what about the Dying to Know You flashbacks? He was obviously living in
some kind of religious community, maybe Protestent or Puritan. I'm SURE he got a
good Bible education there.
