I missed that when I read the article. But that is part of it, it just says "the Bible". For me, I just think of the Tanakh, or what Christians call the Old Testament. It did not occur to me that this could mean a Christian scriptural-literalist interpretation until I read of Walters' background. Like Sarah Silverman said, in this country, if you are sworn in court or government office, "it's not even my Bible".
When I visited a county fair in Texas once, somebody handed me a booklet that was just the New Testament, which blew my mind. I did not know that Christians just drop the Hebrew Bible.
