Should the word Scriptures be capitalized?

The capitalization of "Scriptures" depends on the context:

1. When referring to a specific religious text:

* Yes, capitalize: "The Holy Scriptures" (referring to the Bible)

* Yes, capitalize: "The Jewish Scriptures" (referring to the Hebrew Bible)

2. When referring to any religious texts in general:

* No, don't capitalize: "They studied the scriptures of many religions."

3. When used as an adjective:

* No, don't capitalize: "scriptures studies"

General rule: Capitalize "Scriptures" when referring to a specific collection of sacred writings (like the Bible or Torah). Otherwise, treat it as a regular noun.
