Catholic Answer

The Bible used by the Catholic Church has been the same Bible used by Christians for 2,000 years. The Old Testament is based on the Septuagint, which was the Bible used by the Jews for three hundred years up through the time of Christ, and the New Testament was composed by the Catholic Church and finalized in A.D. 392 at the Council of Rome. At that time St. Jerome's translation was approved by the Church and it has not changed since that time. So I guess the better question would be "different from what?"

Why have the stories and characters of the bible inspired so many paintings and sculptures?

In past centuries a lot of faithful followers of God were members of the Catholic church. No one had Bibles to read on their own due to literacy being so low and the Catholic belief that only the Pope and other top Religious officials could interpret the Bible. So under much commission from the Catholic church artisans and painters were asked to create these images of the characters in the Bible so the people could assimilate them to the stories and grow in allegiance to the Catholic faith.
