THE BIBLE
The Bible is a collection of sacred texts in Judaism and Christianity.
It is a collection of scriptures written at different times by different
authors in different locations. Jews and Christians consider the books
of the Bible to be a product of divine inspiration or an authoritative
record of the relationship between God and humans.

SECTION 2
WHAT ARE THE
DIFFERENT
BIBLE
VERSIONS?
Jewish Bibles
Jewish Bibles differ from Christian Bibles in that they do not
contain the New Testament. Contrary to popular belief, a Jewish
Bible is not simply called a Torah (which is the first five books
of the Bible). In Judaism, the full Bible is called the Tanakh.
These Bibles are not Christian Bibles minus the New Testament, as
most of them have been translated just a bit differently than other
Christian Bibles. Most of these Bibles are published bilingually
with the Hebrew text facing the English text. The most popular
version of the Tanakh is the Jewish Publication of America Society's
version (JPS), which was first published in 1917 and continues to be
published to this day.
King James Version
The King James version of the Christian Bible is the most widely read
and most highly regarded for conservative Christians. This particular
Bible was authorized by King James and took 47 translators four years
to complete this task. This version was authorized by King James I of
England as the one and only correct translation of the Bible. Since
its completion in 1611, it has become the most widely used Bible among
English-speaking Christians.
New International Version
The New International Version (NIV) made its debut in 1973 and is constantly
being revised (with a new revision due out in 2011). A team of 100 translators
from all over the English speaking world came together to translate this Bible
and aimed to preserve theological points of Christianity that the Revised
Standard Version seemed to lack. When translating this Bible, the group of
translators used the Tanakh and the Novum Testamentum Graece (the Greek
version of the New Testament).
Revised Version
The Revised Version is a Bible that was first published in 1881 (in its entirety
in 1894) that was meant to be a revision of the King James Bible, which at the
time, was the only Protestant Bible available to the general public. This version
was meant to make the Bible more accessible to the average reader. In this Bible,
the word LORD is substituted by the word Jehovah. This Bible was then adapted in
1901 to the American Standard Version, which is still in use today. Although it
was the only competition to the King James Version at the time, it was regarded
as going against Evangelical philosophy such as not proclaiming Mary as a virgin.
Roman Catholic Versions
Today, the New Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition, is the version that is
widely accepted among Catholics. This version of the Bible is essentially the same
thing as the newest edition as the Revised Standard Version, except the books are
in the Catholic order (the inclusion of the books Tobit and Judith, as well as the
books of Wisdom and Sirach). Previously, the Douay-Rheims version of the Catholic
Bible was the most widely used Bible among Catholics. This version was borrowed
heavily from the King James Version. From 1750 to 1941, this was regarded as the
official Catholic Bible. In 1941, major changes were made to the Bible and it was
then identified as the Confraternity Bible.
