La Biblia (The Bible) is the name of the second album recorded by the Argentine rock band Vox Dei, generally regarded as the first argentine concept album.

La Biblia is Vox Dei's indisputable masterpiece; it is magnificent for both its music and lyrics. Ricardo Soulé did a terrific job summarizing in just a few lines the most important facts of the Christian Holy Book. Musically the band turned hard-psycho, with chirping driven guitars et al..

The Argentine Archbishop, while at first requesting to review the lyrics, ended up recommending the youth to purchase and listen to the album. During the recording sessions, "Yody" Godoy left the band. To promote the album live, guitarist Nacho Smilari (ex La Barra de Chocolate) joined the band.
