Different book given to the woman (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

other

'different' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'book given to the woman' is the wordplay.
'book' becomes 'ot' (Old Testament).
'given to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the woman' becomes 'her' ('her' refers to a woman).
'ot'+'her'='OTHER'

(Other definitions for other that I've seen before include "else!" , "Throe (anag)" , "Very unusual" , "Alternative - unrelated" , "Remaining" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
