Holy books about English nationals (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

koreans

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'holy books' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'about english nationals' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'about' could be 'rea' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'rea' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for koreans that I've seen is " People from Seoul?".)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
