Catalogers who follow LC use the Chicago Manual of Style, which makes
the same distinction: Bible, biblical.

From my (admittedly, not-so-new) print copy of the /The Associated
Press Stylebook/:
*Bible* Capitalize, without quotation marks, when referring to the
Scriptures in the Old Testament or the New Testament. Capitalize also
related terms such as the /Gospels/, /Gospel of St. Mark/, /the
Scriptures/, /the Holy Scriptures/.
Lowercase /biblical/ in all uses.
Lowercase /bible/ as a nonreligious term: /My dictionary is my bible/.

Catalogers, a question. When is "Biblical" spelled w/ a lower
case "b" and when with a capital? I see both.
If a subject is, say, David the Biblical figure I assume it's a
capital B? for a specific person of the Bible?
But if one is talking in general about a "biblical story," or a
"biblical idea" does one use lower case?
Or should it be consistent throughout a catalog?
(using work from home to go through catalog records and fix
things, and want to know what to do here).
