Did the early church leaders deliberately suppress writings about Jesus from the Bible because they would have threatened their power? Why are there different Catholic and Protestant versions of the Bible? Henry Wansbrough tells the story of why some writings came to be accepted as part of the Bible and other not. He describes how the Bible was translated into a single Latin version which was the standard text for a thousand years and the hard-fought battle which forged the incomparable monument of the first Bible in English.
