Each of the three monotheistic religions (Islam, Judaism, and Christianity) has their own scriptures, and all of these scriptures, from the time of Adam (A) to the Prophet (PBUH), have offered the same guidelines, namely the invitation to monotheism. Furthermore, these books have the same origin and share many similarities. For example, one of these significant similarities is the stories of the Prophets, and so commentators of the Holy Quran, in their interpretations, take advantage of the content of the Bible. Actually, identifying the commentators' approaches, in taking advantage of the Bible, helps us understand the commentators' stance toward the content of the Bible and its usage in their interpretation. Using the descriptive-analytical method, this article investigates the commentators' approaches towards the use of the Bible and concludes that commentators generally adopt four approaches in the use of the Bible: Maximum Proof, Minimum Proof, Negation, and Dual approaches. Each of them used the Bible differently, as some of them, criticize the content of the Bible and the others use it for explanatory purposes
