Answer 1

Simple answer:

1. Answer to first question:
The Catholic Bible is divided into 2 parts; Old Testament, and New Testament.
The Old Testament consists of the same 39 books of the Protestant as well as Hebrew Bible except that it also adds 7 intertestamental books or "apocryphal books." These "extra" books come from the time between the end of the Old Testament and the beginning of the New Testament (about 400 years) 200-400 BC. This time is referred to as the intertestamental (between testaments) period. The books include:
The Book of Tobit
The Book of Judith
The First Book of Maccabees
The Second Book fo Maccabees
The Book of Wisdom
The Book of Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)
The Book of Baruch

Tobit, Judith, and both books of Maccabees are categorized under the historical books. Wisdom and Sirach are part of the wisdom books. And Baruch is part of the prophetic books.

Some also might contain the rest of the Apocryphal writings which are:
The First Book of Esdras
The Second Book of Esdras
The Rest of the Chapters of the Book of Esther
A Letter of Jeremiah
The Song of the Three
Daniel and Susanna
Daniel, Bel, and the Snake
The Prayer of Manasseh

These Apocryphal, or what is also sometimes called the hidden or deuterocanonical books, are mainly a collection of ancient Jewish writings (written somewhere around 200 years before Christ's birth). The word Apocrypha which is used to describe these writings, was actually coined by the 5th-century scholar named Jerome. These books were not a part of the Masoretic Text (which are copies of the collection of God inspired Hebrew text that the Jews themselves considered canonical), and thus their designation by Jerome as being 'obscure or hidden' books. i.e., Hidden or unseen by their absence, or uncommon use by God's Covenant People. They were Deutero-canonical, or outside of Holy canon.

2. Answer to your next question:
The main contents of the Torah are the first five books of Moses:
Genesis
Exodus
Leviticus
Numbers
Deuteronomy

Literally Torah means a teaching or doctrine. The Torah (or Pentateuch) refers to the first part of the Old Testament. The entire Old Testament (according to the Jewish people) is referred to as the "TaNaCh" (also spelled Tanakh) is an acronym for Torah, Nevi'im, Kesuvim. It refers to the original Jewish Bible in its entirety.

3. Answer to your third question:
All the books in the catholic bible are considered inspired by catholics. Otherwise they would not have included those books in their bible. They consider all the books inspired because they believe that God led people to write down exactly what He wanted to say to mankind. Protestants and Jewish people also believe that God inspired the Bible except that they omit the Apocryphal books because these were never actually used or considered inspired by anyone. The catholic church has elevated the apocryphal books to "canon" status because these extra books help to support certain catholic doctrines.

I hope this answered your question and helps.

Answer 2

the catholic bible is pretty much the same as any other, except it has a few more books in the old testament, and some different bits in the new testament.
The Jerusalem bible is the recommended catholic bible, but there are many different versions of that.
As a catholic, my childhood teaching tended to concentrate on the stories from genesis and exodus, and then the stories from the gospels.
The liturgy of the word is an important part of the catholic mass, and we have readings from the old testament, the psalms, the gospel and the writings of Paul, Revelations, Acts etc- so we are exposed to a variety of biblical texts from an early age.
Although traditionally, catholics do not learn biblical texts by rote, our faith is very firmly based on all aspects of the bible, and I suppose the books of Job, Isiaiah, and the psalms would be my personal favourite.

Answer 3

Between the practice of the Old Testament and the New Testament,the applications of the Adventists and the Jesus Christ followers add to the major division.
