The Hebrew Bible is equivalent to what?
The Christian "Old Testament" is based on the Hebrew Bible. It is a reworking of the original Hebrew text. Furthermore, the early Christian church changed the order of the books. The Hebrew Bible maintains the original order.
Does the present order of books in the English bible parallel the Hebrew bible?
It depends on what religion you are. The Jews use the original order of books, and the Christians use an order that was created by the early church, around the 5th Century.
Is the Hebrew Bible the same as the order of English Bible?
There is no such thing as "the English Bible." The There is only a Hebrew Bible, which can be translated into any language, including English. The order of the Books of the Hebrew bible has nothing to do with what language it's translated into. It has more to do with whether it's a Christian Translation or a Jewish Translation. Jewish Translations preserve the original order of the Hebrew Bible. Christian translations usually use a different order, created by the early Church around the 2nd Century of the common era.
Christian books as opposed to those of the Hebrew bible are called?
The Christian holy books that are not part of the Hebrew Bible are called the New Testament.
How does the placement of the prophetic books at the end of the Hebrew bible anticipant the additions of the gospels to the canon?
The prophetic books were not placed at the end of the Hebrew Bible. This was a rearrangement of the books by the early church. In the original order, used by the Jews, the prophets appear in the center of the Bible. This rearrangement was an effort to give the false impression that more was coming.
Is the Bible complementary to Torah or a stand on its own holy book?
Neither. The Hebrew Bible is a collection of 24 Holy books. The Torah is a part of the Hebrew Bible (it is the first 5 books of the Bible).
What is the Hebrew name for the first five books of the Bible?
The Hebrew name for the first five books of the Bible is the Torah. It is also called the Chumash (חומש) which is a form of the Hebrew word 'five'.

What 3 languages were the books of the bible written?
The original Hebrew Bible that became the Old Testament was written in Hebrew and Aramaic. The Christian New Testament books of the Bible were written in Greek.

There are a total of 73 books in the bible
Why is there not a bible written all in Hebrew?
The first five books of The Bible were translated from the original Hebrew- that's a start!
