His Dark Materials

The Bible was the book of the Church. Lord Asriel's bible was a big, black book and contained the first words about Dust, which fell when Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, towards the end of the Third Chapter of Genesis which is why the particles are known as Dust.[1]

"for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return"
Lyra Silvertongue reads from the Bible[src]
