The Bible is technically a series of books that form a cohesive narrative. In that sense, here is my Bible of Data Science roughly divided into a classical stats OT and a more modern ML NT:

The Law - The mathematical foundations

Statistical Inference - Casella & Berger

History - Foundational works that provide additional context for more advanced concepts

Convex Optimization - Boyd & Vandenberghe

Probability Theory: The Logic of Science - Jaynes

Clean Code - Martin

Poetry - Prose type works

The Art of Data Analysis

Why Predictions Fail

Weapons of Math Destruction

Major Prophets - Seminal works on major topics

Applied Regression Analysis - Draper & Smith

The Data Warehouse Toolkit - Kimball

Bayesian Data Analysis - Gelman

Forecasting: Principles and Practices - Hyndman & Athanasopoulos

Minor Prophets - Important works, but not quite at the level of the DS Major Prophets

Mostly Harmless Econometrics

Causal Inference for the Brave and True

Trustworthy Online Controlled Experiments

The Gospels - The fulfillment of the DS Law

Introduction to Statistical Learning

The Elements of Statistical Learning

Deep Learning - Goodfellow

History Pt. 2 - Data science goes to the Gentiles (non-DS/execs)

Data Science for Executives

Storytelling with Data: a Guide to Data Visualization

Letters - Further explanation and interpretation of the DS Gospel

Machine Learning: a Probabilistic Perspective - Murphy

R for Data Science

Python Machine Learning
