Is the Gideon Bible a Protestant Bible?

Answer 1

Yes, Gideons International (who provide Gideon's Bibles) is an evangelical Protestant organization.

A typical Gideon Bible or New Testament contains:

• a short preface;
• a pamphlet suggesting Bible verses that may be of assistance in various sorts of trouble;
• translations of John 3:16 into a variety of languages and scripts;
• The Bible text itself, without notes, references, or any other reference matter other than chapter and verse headings - this can either be the full Bible (typical of the copies placed in hotel rooms), or just the New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs (typical of the copies handed out as gifts to individuals);
• a short description of Biblical salvation, with Biblical quotations, and a place for the reader to sign and date his confession of Jesus (this is especially common in the shorter editions the New Testament and Psalms).

The Gideons principally use the King James Version for their Bibles. The Gideons also distribute New King James Bibles and Testaments, which they refer to as "Modern English Version" (MEV) Bibles and Testaments. According to the Gideon Guidebook, these MEV Scriptures are used as a supplement to the KJV Bibles. Typically, MEV Bibles are allowed to be distributed only when either the Bible purchaser, Hotel, or the recipient specifies a desire for a modern Bible.

HOWEVER, NOTE : -The text of the Bible is basically the same no matter which Christian denomination one belongs to - a catholic Bible does not contains the same words.
