too many and all 90% fiction.
Whenever I stay in a motel I steal the Gideons Bible and throw it in a dumpster. My good deed for the day.

There is only one Bible; the five books of Hebrew Torah. There are other revered books like the Writings and the Prophets. Collectively with the Talmud (Mishnah and Gemmarah) these are called the "Bible." Yet there are countless translations of the Bible in many languages, but at best these can only ever be translations of the Bible and in no way can be read as authoritative.

there is at least 50. KJV, NKJV, NIV, Revised NIV, CSV, ESV, Living Bible, NLT, the message, God's word, amplified to name a few. Problem with most (with exception of KJV) relies with personal interpretation. Some leave out important information while others add unto Scripture.
Get this, check out if you like through search engines:
Someone created two more Bibles -
Jesus loves **** stars Bible and
100 minute Bible.
Former is focused on...you guessed it.
Latter is for those who are too lazy or have not enough time to read the Bible entirely.
Amazing world we live in today, isn't it?

There are many different translations of the same texts. The King James version, translated in 1611, is still used. But for study purposes, I have found the NIV (new international version) much easier to understand, because it's in more modern English.
There are many different translations of the bible...some of them though are so watered down, they're almost a paraphrase. If anyone ever asks me, I always recommend the Quest Study bible in NIV. It has questions and answers about the text you are reading in the margins....and I really like it.

Waaaay too many to keep track of. Just the ones printed in English alone would be beyond counting, and that's before you get into any other languages.
