ripleofdeath,

Depending on the religion, a bible or holy book contains various 'books' of the New and/or Old Testaments. Together, the 'books' which are recognized by a religion as 'holy' become the 'canon' of the religion or the code of religious law for that particular religion.

There are many 'books' in common among the canons of Catholics, Jews and Protestants but the canon of one might only contain some of the 'books' of another. For example, some 'books' are accepted as part of Catholic canon that are not accepted as part of Protestant canon and some books are accepted as part of both Catholic and Protestant canon that are not accepted as part of Jewish canon.

There have been many translations. Most translations have been literal - from the ancient languages to the more modern languages of an era - but because various writers of various books used different literary styles, interpretations are a different matter. Some people interpret the bible literally while others look at the historical context and literary style employed by the writer of a given book - much as we do when interpreting contemporary works.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you -

I hope this helps at least a little.
