The noun 'Bible' is capitalized as a proper noun as a word for the sacred book of Christianity or Hebrew Scriptures; the name of a specific book. A proper noun is always capitalized.

The common noun 'bible' is not capitalized as a word for book, magazine, or column considered authoritative in a specific field. A common noun is capitalized only when it's the first word in a sentence.

What are the disadvantages of only reading the Old Testament?

This question can be understood in terms of reading only the Old Testament but not the New Testament, or in terms of reading only the Old Testament but nothing else that could contradict or challenge the stories and traditions portrayed in the Old Testament. For a Jew, there is no particular disadvantage in reading the Old Testament but not the New Testament, as the New Testament is not relevant to his religion. For a Christian, the disadvantage is that the books most important to his faith are in the New Testament. Anyone reading only the Old Testament and not what is now known about the history of the times and biblical scholarship on the Old Testament, the disadvantage is that the reader must take everything literally and can not have an informed view as to how literally the Old Testament should be read.
