Religious literature remains one of the most dynamic components to [[Tagalog literature]]. The first Bible in Tagalog, then called ''Ang Biblia''<ref>{{Cite book |last=Worth |first=Roland H. |title=Biblical Studies on the Internet: A Resource Guide |date=2008 |publisher=McFarland |edition=2nd |page=43}}</ref> ("the Bible") and now called ''Ang Dating Biblia''<ref>{{Cite web |title=Genesis 1 |url=http://adb.scripturetext.com/genesis/1.htm |access-date=April 14, 2022 |publisher=Bible Hub |website=biblehub.com |archive-date=August 18, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120818113747/http://adb.scripturetext.com/genesis/1.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> ("the Old Bible"), was published in 1905. In 1970, the Philippine Bible Society translated the [[Bible]] into modern Tagalog. Even before the [[Second Vatican Council]], devotional materials in Tagalog had been in circulation. There are at least four circulating Tagalog translations of the Bible
* the ''[[Magandang Balita Biblia]]'' (a parallel translation of the ''[[Good News Bible]]''), which is the [[Ecumenism|ecumenical]] version
* the ''[[Bibliya ng Sambayanang Pilipino]]''
* the 1905 ''Ang Biblia'', used more by Protestants
* the ''Bagong Sanlibutang Salin ng Banal na Kasulatan'' (''[[New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures]]''), exclusive to the [[Jehovah's Witnesses]]

When the [[Second Vatican Council]], (specifically the [[Sacrosanctum Concilium]]) permitted the universal prayers to be translated into [[Vernacular|vernacular languages]], the [[Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines]] was one of the first to translate the [[Roman Missal]] into Tagalog. The [[Roman Missal]] in Tagalog was published as early as 1982. In 2012, the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines revised the 41-year-old liturgy with an English version of the Roman Missal, and later translated it in the [[vernacular]] to several native languages in the Philippines.<ref>{{cite news |last1= |first1= |title=Manila Archdiocese starts seminars for new translation of Roman Missal|url= https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/topstories/nation/244743/manila-archdiocese-starts-seminars-for-new-translation-of-roman-missal/story/|accessdate=April 27, 2024 |publisher=[[GMA Integrated News]] |date=January 16, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Aning|first1= Jerome |title=Church revises Roman Missal|url= https://globalnation.inquirer.net/19401/church-revises-roman-missal|accessdate=April 27, 2024 |publisher=[[Philippine Daily Inquirer]] |date=November 25, 2011}}</ref> For instance, in 2024, the [[w:en: Roman Catholic Diocese of Malolos|Roman Catholic Diocese of Malolos]] uses the Tagalog translation of the [[Roman Missal]] entitled "Ang Aklat ng Mabuting Balita."<ref>{{cite news |last1= |first1= |title=Sandigan|url=https://dioceseofmalolos.ph/ |accessdate=April 27, 2024 |publisher= [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Malolos]]|date=January 1, 2024}}</ref>

Jehovah's Witnesses were printing Tagalog literature at least as early as 1941<ref>{{Cite book |title=2003 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses |publisher=Watch Tower Society |page=155}}</ref> and ''[[The Watchtower]]'' (the primary magazine of Jehovah's Witnesses) has been published in Tagalog since at least the 1950s. New releases are now regularly released simultaneously in a number of languages, including Tagalog. The official website of Jehovah's Witnesses also has some publications available online in Tagalog.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Watchtower Online Library |url=http://wol.jw.org/tl/wol/h/r27/lp-tg |publisher=Watch Tower Society |language=tl |access-date=November 3, 2014 |archive-date=November 11, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141111215106/http://wol.jw.org/tl/wol/h/r27/lp-tg |url-status=live }}</ref> The revised [[bible]] edition, the ''New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures,'' was released in Tagalog on 2019<ref>{{Cite web |date=January 21, 2019 |title=''New World Translation'' Released in Tagalog |url=https://www.jw.org/en/whats-new/nwt-tagalog/#?insight |access-date=April 14, 2022 |website=Jw.org |archive-date=September 28, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220928132201/https://www.jw.org/en/whats-new/nwt-tagalog/#?insight |url-status=live }}</ref> and it is distributed without charge both printed and [https://www.jw.org/tl/library/bibliya/nwt/mga-aklat/ online versions].

Tagalog is quite a stable language, and very few revisions have been made to Catholic [[Bible translations]]. Also, as Protestantism in the Philippines is relatively young, [[liturgy|liturgical]] prayers tend to be more [[ecumenism|ecumenical]].
