New page: The '''Books of the Bible''' are listed differently in the canons of Judaism and the Catholic, Protestant, Greek Orthodox, Slavonic Orthodox...

New page

The '''Books of the Bible''' are listed differently in the canons of [[Judaism]] and the [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic]], [[Protestantism|Protestant]], Greek Orthodox, Slavonic Orthodox, Georgian, Armenian Apostolic, Syriac and Ethiopian churches, although there is substantial overlap. A table comparing the canons of some of these traditions appears below, comparing the Jewish Bible with the Christian [[Old Testament]] and [[New Testament]]. For a detailed discussion of the differences, see "[[Biblical canon]]".

The [[Eastern Orthodox]], [[Oriental Orthodox]] and [[Eastern Catholic]] churches may have minor differences in their lists of accepted books. The list given here for these churches is the most inclusive: if at least one Eastern church accepts the book it is included here.

==Tanakh, Old Testament, or Hebrew Bible==
{{See also|Development of the Jewish Bible canon|Development of the Old Testament canon}}
A table cell with an asterisk (*) indicates that a book is present but in a different order. Empty cells indicate that a book is absent from that canon.

{{Books of the Old Testament}}
The disputed books are often called the [[Biblical apocrypha|Biblical ''apocrypha'']], a term that is sometimes used specifically (and possibly pejoratively in English) to describe the books in the Catholic and Orthodox canons that are absent from the Jewish [[Masoretic Text]] (also called the [[Tanakh]] or ''Miqra'') and most modern [[Protestant]] Bibles. Catholic Christians, following the [[Canon of Trent]], describe these books as ''[[deuterocanonical books|deuterocanonical]]'', meaning of "the second canon," while Greek Orthodox Christians, following the [[Synod of Jerusalem (1672)]], use the traditional name of ''[[Biblical apocrypha#Anagignoskomena|anagignoskomena]]'', meaning "that which is to be read." They are present in a few historic Protestant versions: the German [[Luther Bible]] included such books, as did the English 1611 [[King James Version]].<ref name="39articles">The foundational [[Thirty-Nine Articles]] of [[Anglicanism]], in [[:s:Thirty-Nine Articles|Article VI]], asserts that these disputed books are not (to be) used "to establish any doctrine," but "read for example of life." Though the "Biblical apocrypha" are still used in [[Anglican Liturgy]], ("Two of the hymns used in the American Prayer Book office of Morning Prayer, the Benedictus es and [[Benedicite]], are taken from the Apocrypha. One of the offertory sentences in Holy Communion comes from an apocryphal book (Tob. 4: 8-9). Lessons from the Apocrypha are regularly appointed to be read in the daily, Sunday, and special services of Morning and Evening Prayer. There are altogether 111 such lessons in the latest revised American Prayer Book Lectionary [The books used are: II Esdras, Tobit, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, Three Holy Children, and I Maccabees.]" —[http://orthodoxanglican.net/downloads/apocrypha.pdf The Apocrypha, Bridge of the Testaments]), the modern trend has been to not even print the Old Testament apocrypha in editions of Anglican-used Bibles, the last English translation for the Biblical Apocrypha being the [[Revised Standard Version]] of 1957.</ref>

Note that this table uses current spellings of the [[New American Bible|NAB]]. Spellings of the 1609-1610 [[Douay-Rheims Bible]] describing the Catholic biblical canon were traslated different but the same books. In the spirit of ecumenism more recent Catholic translations, such as the 1970 are similar or identical spellings (e.g. 1 Chronicles) as Protestant Bibles in those books which are jointly considered canonical, i.e. the [[Protocanonical books|protocanonicals]].

In general, among [[Christian denominations]], the ''New Testament Canon'' is an agreed-upon list of 27 books, although book order can vary. The book order is the same in the Greek Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant tradition.<ref group=L name=Luther/> The Slavonic, Armenian and Ethiopian traditions have different New Testament book orders to this.

The [[Ethiopian Orthodox Church]] has a few additional books in its canon: [[Jubilees]], [[Book of Enoch]], [[4 Baruch]] along with three books of [[Meqabyan]] that are unique to their canon.

The [[Peshitta]] excludes 2-3 John, 2 Peter, Jude, and Revelation, but Bibles of the modern [[Syriac Orthodox Church]] include later translations of those books along with the Letter of Baruch (sometimes included as part of [[2 Baruch]]). Still today the official lectionary followed by the Syrian Orthodox Church (with headquarters at Kottayam (Kerala), and the Chaldean Syriac Church, also known as the Church of the East (Nestorian), with headquarters at Trichur (Kerala)) presents lessons from only the twenty-two books of Peshitta, the version to which appeal is made for the settlement of doctrinal questions.

The [[Third Epistle to the Corinthians]] and the [[Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs]] were once considered part of the [[Armenian Orthodox]] Bible, but are no longer printed with modern editions.

The New Testament has different orders in the Slavonic, Ethiopian, Syriac and Armenian traditions. Protestant Bibles in Russia and Ethiopia usually follow the local Orthodox order for the New Testament.

==Apocryphal or Deuterocanonical books==
These are the [[Biblical Apocrypha]]; books recognized by the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox & Oriental Orthodox Churches as being part of scripture (and thus [[deuterocanonical]] rather than apocryphal), but most Protestants do not recognize them. Many other Christians recognize them as good, but not on the level of the other books of the Bible.
[[Anglicanism]], as stated in the [[Thirty-nine Articles]], consider the apocrypha to be "read for example of life" but not used "to establish any doctrine."<ref name="39articles"/> [[Luther's canon|Luther]] made a parallel statement in calling them: "not considered equal to the Holy Scriptures, but are useful and good to read."<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC05742122&id=rl3lcbLkHV0C&pg=PA521&lpg=PA521&dq=luther+%22are+useful+and+good+to+read%22 The Popular and Critical Bible Encyclopædia and Scriptural Dictionary, Fully Defining and Explaining All Religious Terms, Including Biographical, Geographical, Historical, Archæological and Doctrinal Themes], p.521, edited by [[Samuel Fallows]] et al, The Howard-Severance company, 1901,1910. - [[Google Books]]</ref>

	The disputed books are often called the [[Biblical apocrypha\|Biblical ''apocrypha'']], a term that is sometimes used specifically (and possibly pejoratively in English) to describe the books in the Catholic and Orthodox canons that are absent from the Jewish [[Masoretic Text]] (also called the [[Tanakh]] or ''Miqra'') and most modern [[Protestant]] Bibles. Catholic Christians, following the [[Canon of Trent]], describe these books as ''[[deuterocanonical books\|deuterocanonical]]'', meaning of "the second canon," while Greek Orthodox Christians, following the [[Synod of Jerusalem (1672)]], use the traditional name of ''[[Biblical apocrypha#Anagignoskomena\|anagignoskomena]]'', meaning "that which is to be read."

Though the "Biblical apocrypha" are still used in [[Anglican Liturgy]], ("Two of the hymns used in the American Prayer Book office of Morning Prayer, the Benedictus es and [[Benedicite]], are taken from the Apocrypha. One of the offertory sentences in Holy Communion comes from an apocryphal book (Tob. 4: 8-9). Lessons from the Apocrypha are regularly appointed to be read in the daily, Sunday, and special services of Morning and Evening Prayer. There are altogether 111 such lessons in the latest revised American Prayer Book Lectionary [The books used are: II Esdras, Tobit, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, Three Holy Children, and I Maccabees.]" —[http://orthodoxanglican.net/downloads/apocrypha.pdf The Apocrypha, Bridge of the Testaments]), the modern trend has been to not even print the Old Testament apocrypha in editions of Anglican-used Bibles, the last English translation for the Biblical Apocrypha being the [[Revised Standard Version]] ~~of 1957.~~</~~ref~~>		The disputed books are often called the [[Biblical apocrypha\|Biblical ''apocrypha'']], a term that is sometimes used specifically (and possibly pejoratively in English) to describe the books in the Catholic and Orthodox canons that are absent from the Jewish [[Masoretic Text]] (also called the [[Tanakh]] or ''Miqra'') and most modern [[Protestant]] Bibles.
