Why were some books omitted in the bible?
When the canon of scripture was finalised (eg when the books to be accepted into the Bible were decided) the books were included based on their authenticity and reliability. The Hebrew Bible was accepted in its entirety, but there were some books in the New Testament which were omitted. In addition there were some other books whose providence was doubtful, and so in some Bibles these were included in scripture whereas in others the were not. Nowadays, in the Catholic Bibles, these books are included; in Protestant Bibles they are omitted, although in some Protestant Bibles the are included as a separate section known as the Apocrypha. As far as the New Testament ws concerned, in the early Church there were many gospels in circuation including the Gospel of Thomas and Gospel of Mary. But these, and other documents, could not be verified as to their authenticity and were regarded as unreliable sources of Jesus' life and ministry. So they were omitted, the only gospel accounts being deemed worthy being the four accounts (plus Acts) that we have in the Bible at the moment. Other books were also discussed - including the Didache (a small handbook for the new Christian) and Revelation - and these were books of doubtful origin. In the end, Revelation was accepted into the Bible as the last book of the New Testament but the Didache was not (although it is included in scripture by some Eastern Orthodox Churches).

In the standard Bible there are 39 Books in the Old Testament and 27 in the New testament making 66 in all. However, bibles vary as to which books are accepted as 'canonical' - accepted as scripture because of their providence and teaching. Roman Catholic Bibles differ especially in the Old Testament where certain other books (part of an additional, non-canonical section called the Apocrypha in protestant Bibles) are included. The Greek Orthodox Bible also differs slightly with the addition of extra books in the Old Testament. However, except for just a few minor differences in the letters, all New testament books are the same across the Lutheran, Protestamt, Catholic and Orthodox churches.

Is there a Catholic Version of the Gideon Bible?
.Catholic AnswerIf you are asking if there is an organization that distributes Catholic Bibles, as the Gideons do, I do not know of one. Keep in mind, that although the Catholic Church venerates the Bible as the very Word of God in the words of God, its proper place in is in the liturgy, that is what the Catholic Church originally used to determine which books would be in the Bible, and how she came to "canonize" the New Testament - she used the books that were approved to be read at the Mass to determine which books would constitute the New Testament. In other words, the Catholic Church is more interested in people converting to Christ and attending Mass then she is in putting Bibles in people's hands. To hand out Bibles to the uneducated (in Bible interpretration) is just asking for trouble. Without education, they tend to misinterpret what they read, and get things out of proportion, which is why there are now over 30,000 different sects of protestants, they believe that the Bible is "easy to understand" and that each man can interpret it for himself.
