The Bible: Christianity's Sacred Text and Its Key Translations

The Bible is the holy scripture of Christianity, central to both Protestant and Roman Catholic traditions. Protestants emphasize individual interpretation, while Roman Catholics rely on the clergy's interpretation. Saint Jerome's Vulgate is the first renowned Latin translation, and the King James Version (1611) is considered the finest English translation. Martin Luther's German translation significantly influenced modern German. William Carey translated the Bible into Bengali, published in five volumes by Srirampur Press (1801-45). The Bible has been translated into most world languages.
