Pick over point to Bible-bashing (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nibble

'pick over' is the definition.

'point to bible-bashing' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'n' (N is an example).
'bashing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bible' is an anagram of 'ibble'.
'n'+'ibble'='NIBBLE'

(Other definitions for nibble that I've seen before include "express tentative interest" , "Take small bites of" , "Eat with small dainty bites, like mouse" , "Bite gently and eat a little at a time" , "Take tiny bites" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and the Irish Times.
