Although not the bible for the series, one working resource on the Web for collecting information about all Whedon's projects is over at http://www.whedonesque.com/wiki

I dunno where anybody got the idea that TOS didn't have a bible, but there was one. Check "The Making of Star Trek" by Stephen Whitfield. Also, there were copies of the bible on sale from a very early time, from Lincoln Enterprises, Gene Roddenberry's merchandising company. I've seen a couple of copies personally.

Lucifer is from the Latin phrase "lux fare", meaning "bearer of the light".

Sorry to continue the off-topicness, but I'm pretty sure that the Episcopal belief is that Hell's not a place where you are in constant agony, but just where you're separated from God. While that's infinitely undesirable, it won't be to different than my life.

I doubt they would release the shows bible (if there is one) because it could give away certain facts that have not been revealed to us yet, that Joss may want to put into the movie, or into the next television series (knock on wood!)

Actually, from what I understand of shows' bibles (I read Making of Star Trek, too, and I believe I saw a Next Gen one at a con many moons ago [but my memory's like a seive these days]), Show's bibles are usually just a synopsis, with character bios and some description of locales they have or may visit. There may be some comments like: "Book has knowledge of the military, but from where has not been revealed." This is so writers have character traits they can write about, but still can't reveal something important too soon, or if the fact hasn't been decided yet (esp. if the producers are making it up as they go) - unless it's a solicited script and the producers specifically WANT something revealed. (However, I remember there was a big controversy some years ago about a fact revealed in a Babylon 5 comic that wasn't supposed to come out, yet. No more comics were done after - so I could be wrong.)
As for the Christian Bible - here's some things I've heard & read: "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" is a mistranslation. The Greek word should translate as "poisoner". Satan is from the Hebrew "zatan" meaning "adversary". He is never actually described (no, no pitchfork or tail). Jesus was not born Dec. 25, but probably sometime in Sept. of 3 B.C. (Calculated by an alignment of planets visible night & day from April to Oct. of that year combined with when the census was taken & when Herod ruled.) Dec. 25 is because it proved impossible to make the pagans stop celebrating Winter Solstice. (In fact, most of our Christmas traditions, are pagan: evergreen tree a sign of everlasting life from Germany, lights on the tree from Poland, etc.) I'm sure those of us who's studied or even just read about Bible history could go on and on. But I'll stop here.
