Crossword Genius

Man sent tweet spinning religious writing (3,9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

new testament

'religious writing' is the definition.
(New Testament is an example)

'man sent tweet spinning' is the wordplay.
'spinning' indicates an anagram.
'man'+'sent'+'tweet'='mansenttweet'
'mansenttweet' is an anagram of 'NEW TESTAMENT'.

(Other definitions for new testament that I've seen before include "Canon" , "Sacred books" , "Will's later amendment" , "Second part of the Bible" , "Holy Writ" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
