When it comes to religious texts specifically, the only one I can think of off the top of my head that's actually named in game is the Enchiridion. It's a holy text of the Ishgardian Orthodox Church, containing the teachings of Halone...so you could consider it the Halonic Bible.
The etymology behind the word "Enchridion" roughly translates from Greek as "something so useful, you should always have it on you". Presumably many Ishgardians either carry a copy around with them, or at the very least, have one at home. Oddly enough, there's a quest where an Elezen in Coerthas has you go all the way to Ul'dah to get him a copy, so it almost seems like copies of it are kind of rare. Either that, or Ul'dahn merchants are trying to create an artificial scarcity.
In any case, there are sadly no examples of the contents of the book anywhere in game yet, but given how generally zealous Ishgard is about its Halone worship, it's probably safe to assume that there's a fair amount of Enchiridion-thumpers about. If just about everyone truly does have a copy, the book is probably quite influential on every day Ishgardian life.
