  • BL - Religions. Mythology. Rationalism.
  • BM - Judaism
  • BP - Islam. Bahaism. Theosophy, etc.
  • BQ - Buddhism
  • BR - Christianity
  • BS - The Bible
  • BT - Doctrinal Theory
  • BV - Practical Theology
  • BX - Christian Denominations

You can also explore the Library of Congress Call Number B Outline to narrow in on a call number range more specific to the aspect of religion you are interested in, and then browse the stacks in that area.
