AnswerThe New Jerusalem Bible was written for Catholics and contains the Catholic deuterocanonical books and sections. There is no reason Protestants should not use this Bible, but they are unlikely to do so.

Do catholics and baptist have the same bible?

The bible has changed throughout the centuries and different religious groups choose different versions as their approved version. Predominantly the book is the same.The Bible, sometimes called the Holy Bible, can refer to one of two closely related religious texts central to Judaism and Christianity-the Hebrew or Christian sacred Scriptures respectively.The Bible as used by Christians is divided into the Old Testament and the New Testament. The canonical composition of the Old Testament is in dispute between Christian groups: Protestants hold all of the books of the Hebrew Bible to be canonical and include them in what they call the Old Testament. Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox additionally consider the deuterocanonical books, a group of Jewish books, to be a canonical part of their Old Testament. The New Testament is comprised of the Gospels ("good news"), the Acts of the Apostles, the Epistles (letters), and the Book of Revelation.There are 2,479 bible translations available today!The following Bible translations are approved by the Catholic Church for personal use:+ Douai-Rheims http://www.drbo.org/+ Confraternity Edition+ Revised Standard Version (RSV) - Catholic Edition+ New American Bible (NAB) http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/+ Jerusalem Bible+ New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)- Catholic Edition+ New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) http://www.catholic.org/bible/+ Today's English Version - Catholic Edition

What is the difference between Jerusalem Bible and Community Bible?

Roman Catholic AnswerThe Jerusalem Bible, and The New Jersusalem Bible, are both Catholic Bibles with copious notes, both introductory and footnotes all of which are approved by the Church both with a Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur. (The Nilhil Obstat and Imprimatur are a declaration that a book or pamphlet is considered to be free from doctrinal or moral error. It is not implied that those who have granted the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur agree with the contents, opinions or statements expressed.) The translation itself is from the original languages, and, for the most part, is exellent. There have been criticisms of the original Jerusalem Bible following the French translation a little too closely. This was corrected in the The New Jerusalem Bible. It is an excellent study Bible, and considered good enough that at one time, it was approved as an alternative to be used for the readings at Mass.I can not find Community Bible, although I do see a series of books on Amazon that are called The Community Study Series (for the Bible). This seems to be an Protestant interpretration of the Bible, and thus rather misleading. I would not recommend any Bible or study series that did not have a Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur.
