“the film redirects the viewer to emphasize the fact that the lone remaining Bible is the most important thing in existence.”
Except it’s right next to a copy of the koran.

“Except it’s right next to a copy of the koran.”
Except the film doesn’t show the guy entrusted to preserve the Koran was a blind man who could somehow miraculously dodge bullets and be preserved from all harm...
The koran has nothing to do with this movie. It is about the Bible. Yes, there’s a library at the end, and it has encyclopedias and yes, a koran, which have been salvaged. But it is the Bible that Mr Big is after in order to either sequester or destroy every last copy. No one is hunting down the koran. “The Bible is where the power is...” quoth the movie.
In the end, there will be massive printings of the Bible, not the koran. And away goes Denzel’s protege-ette, listening to the Bible on mp3, presumably to memorize the whole thing just as Denzel had done. Highly inspiring!
