The common phrasing christians use is actually "The Holy Bible", with "Holy" being a common word in the bible meaning "set apart for God". So "The Holy Bible" is that particular "Bible" (book) which has been set apart for God.

In fact, calling it a Holy Bible implies there are Bibles which are not Holy. As one would expect, given a bible is just a book, in greek.
