The official Bible used by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) is the King James Version used by many Protestant Christian faiths. Mormons may use any King James Version Bible printed by any publisher, but the Church does print it's own which most Mormons use because it contains helpful cross-references to the Book of Mormon. The LDS KJV has the identical books and text of other KJV Bibles, only the footnotes and chapter summaries are unique.


The books contained in a standard King James Version Bible, including those published by the Mormon Church, are:

Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Ester, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, The Acts, Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, Hebrews, James, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, Jude, and Revelation.


Mormons believe that the Apocryphal books, including those found in some Catholic and Orthodox Bibles, contain both truth and error. A Spirit-led study of these books is thought to be beneficial and they are occasionally quoted by Church leaders, although they are not included in the official scriptural canon of the Church. In non-English speaking countries, the Mormon church often distributes Bibles published by other churches or publishers, and these Bibles sometimes include the Apocryphal books.

Why are some Bible books had in been drop out from the present Bible?

I think you refer to the Apocrypha, a collection of 10 or 11 books that were never accepted as Bible books in the first few centuries when the Bible books were chosen, though our Roman Catholic brethren accept them in their Bible. They were not chosen because they were sometimes contradictory to the general Bible doctrine.

What part of the bible does Africa have?

The version of the Bible doesn't depend so much on the region; it depends more on the specific Christian denomination (or non-Christian religion) you are talking about. For more details, check the table "Books of the Bible" in the Wikipedia.Thus, for example, a Protestant in Africa would typically "have" one "part of the Bible" (i.e., accept certain books of the Bible as "canon" or official), while a Catholic in Africa would accept another part of the Bible as canon. Note that there is quite a bit of overlap, but there are some books of the Bible which are accepted by some groups, but which are not universally accepted.

The main difference between the Mormon Bible and the Catholic Bible is in their content.
