AnswerThe New Jerusalem Bible was written for Catholics and contains the Catholic deuterocanonical books and sections. There is no reason Protestants should not use this Bible, but they are unlikely to do so.

The bible has changed throughout the centuries and different religious groups choose different versions as their approved version. Predominantly the book is the same.The Bible, sometimes called the Holy Bible, can refer to one of two closely related religious texts central to Judaism and Christianity-the Hebrew or Christian sacred Scriptures respectively.The Bible as used by Christians is divided into the Old Testament and the New Testament. The canonical composition of the Old Testament is in dispute between Christian groups: Protestants hold all of the books of the Hebrew Bible to be canonical and include them in what they call the Old Testament. Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox additionally consider the deuterocanonical books, a group of Jewish books, to be a canonical part of their Old Testament. The New Testament is comprised of the Gospels ("good news"), the Acts of the Apostles, the Epistles (letters), and the Book of Revelation.There are 2,479 bible translations available today!The following Bible translations are approved by the Catholic Church for personal use:+ Douai-Rheims http://www.drbo.org/+ Confraternity Edition+ Revised Standard Version (RSV) - Catholic Edition+ New American Bible (NAB) http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/+ Jerusalem Bible+ New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)- Catholic Edition+ New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) http://www.catholic.org/bible/+ Today's English Version - Catholic Edition
There is no reason that a Buddhist would regard or use the Bible as a holy book. The two approaches to spirituality are significantly different.

All types of Christianity have the Holy Bible.Catholic AnswerCatholics use many books, for the Eucharist (Mass) they use a Missal, to pray the daily Office they use a Breviary. Many of the faithful have a Prayerbook that they use each day. The readings for the Mass are contained in the Lectionary, which contains all the readings from the Bible for each individual Mass, feast, and day of the year. Catholics also rely on the Bible, there are several different translations available in English. There are a wealth of other books for spiritual reading, for retreats, for meditations, for growing in the spiritual life. Check out any good Catholic bookstore or website.
Yes, they believe in both the Old and New Testaments and use the same Bible.
Orthodox Christians use the same Bible as Catholics, Protestants, and most other Christian denominations.
Presbyterians, Catholics, Mormons, and Jehovah's Witnesses are all Christian denominations. They all believe in Jesus Christ and in the Bible, although their definitions of exactly who Jesus was are different, and the Bible versions that they use are different.
The Protestant Bible is missing a number of books that are included in the Catholic Bible. Also, there are a number of passages in the Protestant Bible that have been altered a bit to agree with Protestant theology.
Currently, three translations are approved for Catholic liturgical use: the New Jerusalem, the Revised Standard Edition (RSV), and the New American Bible (NAB)
Not only Ukrainian Catholics use icons - many Catholics across the world do! They are simply a visual representation of important people for different people.
There are many non-catholics who learn and study biblical texts from the KJV version. Catholics generally do not learn what is written in biblical text, they rely instead in the priest knowing what is written and telling them if they are right or wrong. Catholics generally learn from sermons and the book of common prayer but not the bible. Its rare that Catholics would know what was actually written in biblical text. The same holds true for any church system that teaches as the Catholics do (high church), this could also include Lutherans, Episcopalians, and the Church of England. Most of these church systems never teach biblical text to their parishioners. They sermon to them, and have them repeat (chant) from the book of common prayer. I use to be one of these until I actually learned biblical text, that is how I know.
.Catholic AnswerAs with any country, the official Bible for Catholics is the Latin Vulgate. For uses in English, Catholics in England have approved the Revised Standard Version - Catholic Edition, and the Jerusalem Bible for use in the Liturgy, and the Grail translation of the psalms. Individual Catholics may use any approved translation, it would have a Nihil Obstat, and an Imprimatur (and prehaps an Imprimi Potest) on the back of the Title Page.
Catholics (there is no such thing as "Roman Catholic", that is a popular misnomer) use the complete Bible which includes the Old Testament that Jesus Christ used, the Septuagint. The Septuagint does contain the books of 1st and 2nd Maccabees but it is most certainly not called the "Maccabees Bible", just the Holy Bible or Sacred Scripture. The Orthodox Bible contains all kinds of books which were not in the Septuagint, do no, we do not use the same Bibles.
