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.
