The Septuagint ('LXX') was an early Greek translation of all the Hebrew scriptures. It certainly began with the translation of the Pentateuch, as these were regarded as the five most important scriptures, but the project continued until all the scriptures were available to the Jews of the diaspora, who could not read the scriptures in Hebrew.

What is the difference between the Catholic Edition of the Bible and the New Living Tradition?
Roman Catholic AnswerTechnically, there is no "Catholic Edition" of the Bible. The Holy Bible used by the Christian Church has always included the entire Old Testament from the Septuagint, which was the translation of the Bible that Jesus and the Apostles used. This is the Bible that was translated into Latin and used by the Church up until recently. Somewhere in the first three centuries after Christ, the Jews rejected what is called the Deuterocanonical books because they supported obvious Christian beliefs, even though they had been translated by the Jews into Greek in the Septuagint, and used by them for centuries. Many centuries later Martin Luther separated from the Christian Church, started his own Church, and composed his own Bible. In doing this he threw out the Deuterocanonical books, he also attempted to throw out the Epistle of James as it - quite explicitly - rejects his founding principle "salvation by faith alone". The words "salvation by faith alone" are only found in the Bible once, and that is in the Epistle of James, where they are preceded by the words, NOT BY". The New Living Tradition is a re-translation of the mutilated Bible that Martin Luther came up with. The "Apocrypha" has nothing to do with the Deuterocanonical books of the Old Testament, the Apocrypha are books that were erroneously held to be inspired and included in the canon of Scripture but were rejected by the Church. These are entirely different books from the Deuterocanonical books which are inspired and are part of the canon of Scripture, they just aren't included in protestant Bibles.

Books of history in the Bible?
There are many different answers to this question going from the Bible is just myth and has little or no history, to the Torah or first five books are historic, to the Bible is the Book of God's History of man. Starting in Chapter 11 of Genesis, the Bible concentrates first upon the physical Congregation of Israel and ends with the Church of God or spiritual Israel in Revelation. With a possible two exceptions - Song of Solomon (love story yet historic to some and Proverbs (wisdom sayings) - the entire Bible is historic with about 28% prophetically so (history in advance).
What is the first Roman Catholic Bible?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe first Bible is the Jewish Bible, known to Christians as the Old Testament. The Christian Bible is, and always was, the "Catholic Bible". Jews of today, and Protestants have rejected what is known as the Deuterocanon from the Old Testament in their translations of the Bible. This is NOT the "Bible" that Jesus used, He used the Septuagint, which included all the books now contained in the Old Testament of the "Catholic Bible".
