1. A lot of copies, definitely in the millions somewhere.  I don't know the exact number.

2. '''Matthew''' seems to be aimed at a Jewish audience, and focuses on fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies.  '''Mark''' is a simpler style, and reads like a pamphlet or a tract.  '''Luke''' was probably intended for Gentile audiences.  The author of this Gospel was most likely an educated man, and wrote very skilled prose.  '''John''' explores Jesus' nature as God ''and'' man more deeply than the other Gospels.

3. OK, according to tradition, I think that Mark was supposed to be Peter's eyewitness account.  If the disciple John actually wrote the book of John, that would make that an eyewitness account, too.

8. Oh, no. If the answer isn't the translation committee for the King James Version, I'm stumped.

9. I'm pretty sure not.  If it was banned, it would be when the British Crown was still tied to the Vatican in some way.

12. As far as the oldest ''manuscripts'' I'm pretty sure we have some ''very'' old extant copies of some of the Prophets. As far as strictly ''the oldest books'', I'd have to say the Torah.  Those books were first written down during the Kingdom period, and were based on hundreds and hundreds of years of oral tradition.
