Thanks for your responses. I am aware of the council of Nicea, I have studied Bible history for many years as a personal hobby. I have copies of the Gnostic writings, but they are not my main interest. My main interest is how we got the Bible we have today in mainstream Christianity, in it's Protestant and Catholic version. I have read the Apocrypha. However, there is one particular story I'm interested in. The story of Lilith, and how she was left out of the King James Bible, which makes me wonder. Has anyone ever heard of this story? It's not in the Apocrypha, I believe that it was in some of the Bibles used in the Middle Ages.

I have heard that even after the Council of Nicea, Bibles used throughout Europe differed from area to area in what books and pieces of books they contained. I heard that the story of Lilith, supposedly Adam's first wife before Eve, was left out when the Bible was translated into English. I have heard that the translators working on the King James version of the Bible changed the Book of Genesis to leave her story out, as she was supposedly a strong and imposing figure, not the picture of femininity that the translators of King James wanted people learning about. So I wonder, if she was left out, what else might have been changed and covered up? I would really be interested in hearing if anyone else has heard of anything about this, or knows what I am referring to.
