Out of all the books that have ever been released, both past and present, the Bible is the one that is the most printed. There are two parts of the Bible, which is an Old and a New Testament. This Bible is the holy book of the religions Christianity and Judaism. It has the basics of Christianity that the followers of the religion should abide by. Christianity is broken down further than that, as there are different sectors of Christianity, including Catholics and Baptist. One of the differences between the Bibles of these sectors is that the Catholic Bible has the Apocrypha, while the Baptist Bible does not have this.
