The books that form what is now known as the Bible were not originally written in order to be included in a 'Bible'. They were simply written to meet the religious or political purposes of their times. When, later, the concept of a collection of books, a 'Bible', came to the fore, some books were included and some were not.Until the first Bibles were compiled, there were no books in the Bible, to be taken out. It was merely a case of which of the many hundreds of potentially suitable books would be included, and which would not.Having said that, the Catholic Church included, and still includes, 15 'Deuterocanonical' books in its Old Testament. These were not included in the Hebrew Bible and, on the precedent of the Hebrew Bible, are not included in the Protestant Bible. Even the Catholic Church regards the Deuterocanonical books as not inspired in the same way as the canonical books are.

Buddhists may read The Bible and other religious and philosophical books in order to understand other religions. It is however no different than reading any other book of philosophy. They do not see it as "the truth" or an authority on life skills.

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.
