Very interesting story. Do you where Bible is now?

When I visited the Kenosha Civil War Museum a few years ago I was in a back room of the museum and there was a bible sitting on a table. I was going to pick it up to look at, but the curator said it was General Lee's bible so I did not pick it up. I am not sure the curator was being honest so I am not sure that it was General Lee's bible or not.

Is General Lee's Bible an Episcopalian one? I think it was, because Lee studied religion in Christ Episcopal Church.

Essentially, Scholar, there is One Bible for all denominations of Christians. There is no Episcopalian version that differs from a Presbyterian one. What differs is the interpretation.

May I assume you are Greek Orthodox? It's still the same Bible. It's in the interpretation.

Ole, the Protestant Bible doesn't have some books the Greek Orthodox includes. Some Old Testament minor prophets are omitted in the Protestant version of the Bible. Moreover, some denominations, like Baptists, consider only a few versions of the Bible as genuine, more often the KJV of 1611.
