The answer depends on which church and which Bible you are asking about. Remember that there is the Hebrew Bible, which contain sacred writings of the Jewish faith. Among Christians, there is the Roman Catholic Bible and the Protestant Bible, which differ around the inclusion or exclusion of deuterocanonicals, or the books of the the Apocrypha. Limiting this answer to the New Testament: The books of the NT were all composed by the beginning of the second century of the current era (CE). Two forces were at work during the early adoption of the canon: Marcion, a wealthy shipowner from Sinope, sought to make the canon small. Elements of Gnosticism and Monatanism sought to make it larger. In an Easter letter written in 367 CE by Ananaisous, Bishop of Alexandria, the 27 books that now make up the Christian NT were named. The Third Council of Carthage in 397 CE listed the same 27 books. Source:

Why did Catholic Church officials collect and burn certain books?
To answer this question I think that it is best to consider a hypothetical situation: would you allow your child, let's say 10 year old boy, read a magazine like playboy or some other pornographic magazine? I think not, as you would like to protect your son from things about which is not ready to learn. Just like a protective mother, Mother Church, did prohibit the reading of some books that would put peoples souls in jeopardy. However, you may sleep soundly this evening knowing that the church no longer bans books. To learn more look at the link below. Actually, the Catholic Church collected and burned certain books for the exact same reason that the English protestant government did - the books were full of errors. Proofreaders were not in ready supply back then. One famous English Bible, the "Sinners" Bible left out the word "not" in the Ten Commandments, the one saying: Thou shalt commit adultery. Very popular Bible with some - it was burnt by the English government.
