capitalization of bible

Hello there.
I thought the first letter of bible should be capitalized, especially when it refers to the Christian Bible. But I am so bewildered now, because I have seen many exceptions these days. I found one even from my textbook quot "with biblical phrases such as 'Peace be with you.'"
Would you explain the capitalization about things like bible?

Postscript: I tried to find it by searching the word 'capital bible' only to see countless irrelevant results. Is there more efficient way to search?

Thank you for your help n advance.
