As mentioned in the video, the Protestant Bible has 39 books in the OT while the Catholic Bible has 46 books in the OT. Seven books of the OT were removed from the Protestant Bible. The seven books that were removed from the Protestant Bible are called the Apocrypha by Protestants. Catholics don’t view nor believe the seven books to be the Apocrypha. On the contrary, Catholics believe the seven books to be the deuterocanonical books. In other words, Catholics believe the seven books to be divinely inspired & Protestants do not.

The 7 books are as follows:

Tobit, Judith, the 1st & 2nd book of Maccabees, the book of Wisdom, the book of Sirach, & the book Baruch.

The Protestant Bible has the Books of Esther & Daniel, but some sections from these books are missing from the Protestant Bible. On the bright side, the Protestant Bible & the Catholic Bible both include 27 books in the NT.

Why do I share this information? It is important to know which Bible you have. What went down? Why were the seven books removed or some say “added”? History is important.

If you aren’t Catholic & you don’t want to read Catholic sources, I understand! Perhaps read these sources & compare it to your own. If you would like to add to the history, please do so in the comments.

God bless you!!
