Biblical canon

==Canons of various Christian traditions==
Final dogmatic articulations of the canons were made at the [[Council of Trent]] of 1546 for Roman Catholicism.{{sfnp|Reid|1908}}

Another set of books, largely written during the [[intertestamental period]], are called the [[deuterocanon]] ("second canon") by Catholics, the deuterocanon or ''[[anagignoskomena]]'' ("worthy of reading") by Eastern Orthodox Churches, and the biblical apocrypha ("hidden things") by Protestants. These are works recognized by the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox Churches as being part of scripture (and thus deuterocanonical rather than apocryphal), but Protestants do not recognize them as [[Biblical inspiration|divinely inspired]]. Some Protestant Bibles—especially the English King James Bible and the [[Lutheran Bible]]—include an "Apocrypha" section.

Many denominations recognize deuterocanonical books as good, but not on the level of the other books of the Bible. [[Anglicanism]] considers the apocrypha worthy of being "read for example of life" but not to be used "to establish any doctrine".<ref name="39articles">The foundational [[Thirty-Nine Articles]] of [[Anglicanism]], in [[wikisource:Book of Common Prayer (1863)/Articles of Religion|Article VI]], asserts that these disputed books are not (to be) used "to establish any doctrine," but "read for example of life." Although the biblical apocrypha are still used in [[Christian liturgy#Anglican Communion|Anglican Liturgy]], ("Two of the hymns used in the American Prayer Book office of Morning Prayer, the [[Benedictus (Song of Zechariah)|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 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] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090205074449/http://orthodoxanglican.net/downloads/apocrypha.pdf|date=5 February 2009}}), the modern trend has been to not even print the Old Testament Apocrypha in editions of Anglican-used Bibles.</ref> [[Luther's canon|Luther]] made a parallel statement in calling them "not considered equal to the Holy Scriptures, but [...] useful and good to read."<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rl3lcbLkHV0C&q=luther+%22are+useful+and+good+to+read%22&pg=PA521|title=The Popular and Critical Bible Encyclopædia and Scriptural Dictionary, Fully Defining and Explaining All Religious Terms, Including Biographical, Geographical, Historical, Archæological and Doctrinal Themes |page=521|editor=[[Samuel Fallows]]|publisher=The Howard-Severance company|orig-year=1901|year=1910|display-editors=etal}}</ref>

Additionally, while the books of [[Jubilees]] and [[Book of Enoch|Enoch]] are fairly well known among western scholars, 1, 2, and 3 [[Meqabyan]] are not. The three books of Meqabyan are often called the "Ethiopian Maccabees", but are completely different in content from the [[books of Maccabees]] that are known or have been canonized in other traditions. Finally, the Book of Joseph ben Gurion, or [[Josippon|Pseudo-Josephus]], is a history of the Jewish people thought to be based upon the writings of [[Josephus]].<ref group="note">Josephus's ''[[The Jewish War]]'' and ''[[Antiquities of the Jews]]'' are highly regarded by Christians because they provide valuable insight into 1st century Judaism and early Christianity. Moreover, in ''Antiquities'', Josephus made two extra-Biblical references to Jesus, which have played a crucial role in establishing him as a historical figure.</ref> The Ethiopic version (Zëna Ayhud) has eight parts and is included in the [[Orthodox Tewahedo biblical canon#Broader biblical canon|Orthodox Tewahedo broader canon]].<ref group="note">The Orthodox Tewahedo broader canon in its fullest form—which includes the narrower canon in its entirety, as well as nine additional books—is not known to exist at this time as one published compilation. Some books, though considered canonical, are nonetheless difficult to locate and are not even widely available in Ethiopia. While the narrower canon has indeed been published as one compilation, there may be no real ''emic'' distinction between the broader canon and the narrower canon, especially in so far as divine inspiration and scriptural authority are concerned. The idea of two such classifications may be nothing more than [[Emic and etic|etic]] taxonomic conjecture.</ref><ref>[http://www.ethiopianorthodox.org/english/canonical/books.html "The Bible"].

Some ancient copies of the [[Peshitta]] used in the [[Syriac Christianity|Syriac tradition]] include [[2 Baruch]] (divided into the Apocalypse of Baruch and the Letter of Baruch; some copies only include the Letter) and the non-canonical [[Psalms 152–155]].

The [[Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church|Ethiopian Tewahedo church]] accepts all of the deuterocanonical books of Catholicism and anagignoskomena of Eastern Orthodoxy except for the four Books of Maccabees.<ref>According to some enumerations, including Ecclesiasticus, Judith, Tobit, 1 Esdras, 4 Ezra (not including chs. 1–2 or 15–16), Wisdom, the rest of Daniel, Baruch, and 1–2 Maccabees</ref> It accepts the 39 protocanonical books along with the following books, called the "[[Bible translations into Amharic#New Haile Selassie I Bible (1962)|narrow canon]]".<ref>These books are accounted pseudepigrapha by all other Christian groups, Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox (Charlesworth's Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, Introduction)</ref> The enumeration of books in the Ethiopic Bible varies greatly between different authorities and printings.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.islamic-awareness.org/Bible/Text/Canon/ethiopican.html |title=The Biblical Canon of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church Today |publisher=Islamic-awareness.org |access-date=2012-08-14}}</ref>

Eastern Orthodoxy uses the [[Septuagint]] (translated in the 3rd century BCE) as the textual basis for the entire Old Testament in both protocanonical and deuteroncanonical books—to use both in the Greek for [[liturgical]] purposes, and as the basis for translations into the [[vernacular]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Ware|first=Timothy|title=The Orthodox Church: New Edition|year=1993|publisher=Penguin Books|isbn=978-0-14-014656-1|page=368}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Orthodox Study Bible|year=2008|publisher=Thomas Nelson|location=Nashville, TN|isbn=978-0-7180-0359-3|page=1824|edition=Annotated|chapter=Introduction}}</ref> Most of the quotations (300 of 400) of the Old Testament in the New Testament, while differing more or less from the version presented by the Masoretic text, align with that of the Septuagint.<ref>{{cite book|last=McLay|first=R.

See: Ron Grove, ''Canon and community: authority in the history of religions'' University of California, Santa Barbara, 1983, p.160.

When later converts brought the last books, "there were those in the church who considered that the limits of the Old Testament in Syriac had already been defined" (Weitzman, 1999, p.261).

===== Old Testament table notes =====
The table uses the spellings and names present in modern editions of the Bible, such as the [[New American Bible Revised Edition]], [[Revised Standard Version]] and [[English Standard Version]]. The spelling and names in both the 1609–1610 [[Douay–Rheims Bible|Douay]] Old Testament (and in the 1582 Rheims New Testament) and the 1749 revision by [[Bishop Challoner]] (the edition currently in print used by many Catholics, and the source of traditional Catholic spellings in English) and in the Septuagint differ from those spellings and names used in modern editions that derive from the Hebrew Masoretic text.<ref>Generally due to derivation from transliterations of names used in the Latin Vulgate in the case of Catholicism, and from transliterations of the Greek Septuagint in the case of the Orthodox (as opposed to derivation of translations, instead of transliterations, of Hebrew titles) such [[Ecclesiasticus]] (DRC) instead of [[Sirach]] (LXX) or [[Ben Sira]] (Hebrew), [[Paralipomenon]] (Greek, meaning "things omitted") instead of [[Books of Chronicles|Chronicles]], Sophonias instead of [[Zephaniah]], Noe instead of [[Noah]], Henoch instead of [[Enoch (ancestor of Noah)|Enoch]], [[Messias]] instead of [[Messiah]], Sion instead of [[Zion]], etc.</ref>

The King James Version references some of these books by the traditional spelling when referring to them in the New Testament, such as "Esaias" (for Isaiah). In the spirit of [[ecumenism]] more recent Catholic translations (e.g., the [[New American Bible]], [[Jerusalem Bible]], and ecumenical translations used by Catholics, such as the [[Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition]]) use the same "standardized" (King James Version) spellings and names as Protestant Bibles (e.g., 1 Chronicles, as opposed to the Douay 1 Paralipomenon, 1–2 Samuel and 1–2 Kings, instead of 1–4 Kings) in the [[Protocanonical books|protocanonicals]].

The [[Talmud]] in [[Bava Batra]] 14b gives a different order for the books in ''Nevi'im'' and ''Ketuvim''. This order is also quoted in [[Mishneh Torah]] Hilchot [[Sefer (Hebrew)|Sefer]] [[Torah]] 7:15. The order of the books of the Torah are universal through all denominations of Judaism and Christianity.

{{Main|Development of the New Testament canon|New Testament apocrypha|Antilegomena}}

Other New Testament works that are generally considered apocryphal nonetheless appear in some Bibles and manuscripts. For instance, the [[Epistle to the Laodiceans]] was included in numerous Latin Vulgate manuscripts, in the eighteen German Bibles prior to [[Martin Luther|Luther's]] translation, and also a number of early English Bibles, such as Gundulf's Bible and John Wycliffe's English translation—even as recently as 1728, [[William Whiston]] considered this epistle to be genuinely Pauline. Likewise, the [[Third Epistle to the Corinthians]]<ref group="note">The Third Epistle to the Corinthians can be found as a section within the [[Acts of Paul]], which has survived only in fragments. A translation of the entire remaining Acts of Paul can be accessed online at [http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/actspaul.html Early Christian Writings].</ref> was once considered to be part of the Armenian Orthodox Bible,<ref>{{cite web |last=Saifullah |first=M.

Within the Syriac Orthodox tradition, the Third Epistle to the Corinthians also has a history of significance. Both [[Aphrahat]] and [[Ephraem of Syria]] held it in high regard and treated it as if it were canonical.<ref>{{harvp|Metzger|1997|loc=pp. 219, 223; cf. 7, 176, 182}}.

They are still being honored in some traditions, though they are no longer considered to be canonical. However, certain canonical books within the Orthodox Tewahedo traditions find their origin in the writings of the Apostolic Fathers as well as the [[Ancient Church Orders]]. The Orthodox Tewahedo churches recognize these eight additional New Testament books in its broader canon. They are as follows: the four books of Sinodos, the two books of the Covenant, Ethiopic Clement, and the Ethiopic Didascalia.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Cowley |first=R.

! style="width:123px;"| Armenian Apostolic tradition<ref group="N" name="Armenian">The growth and development of the Armenian Biblical canon is complex. Extra-canonical New Testament books appear in historical canon lists and recensions that are either distinct to this tradition, or where they do exist elsewhere, never achieved the same status. Some of the books are not listed in this table. These include the Prayer of [[Euthalius]], the Repose of [[St. John the Evangelist]], the [[Doctrine of Addai]] (some sources replace this with the [[Acts of Thaddeus]]), a reading from the [[Gospel of James]] (some sources replace this with the [[Apocryphon of James]]), [[Apostolic Canons|the Second Apostolic Canons]], the Words of [[Joseph Barsabbas|Justus]], [[Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite|Dionysius Aeropagite]], the [[Acts of Peter]] (some sources replace this with the [[Preaching of Peter]]), and a Poem by [[Ghazar Parpetsi|Ghazar]]. (Various sources also mention undefined Armenian canonical additions to the Gospels of Mark and John, however, these may refer to the general additions—Mark 16:9–20 and John 7:53–8:11—discussed elsewhere in these notes.) A possible exception here to canonical exclusivity is the Second Apostolic Canons, which share a common source—the [[Apostolic Constitutions]]—with certain parts of the Orthodox Tewahedo New Testament broader canon.  The correspondence between King Agbar and Jesus Christ, which is found in various forms—including within both the Doctrine of Addai and the Acts of Thaddeus—sometimes appears separately. It is noteworthy that the Prayer of Euthalius and the Repose of St. John the Evangelist appear in the appendix of the 1805 Armenian Zohrab Bible. However, some of the aforementioned books, though they are found within canon lists, have nonetheless never been discovered to be part of any Armenian Biblical manuscript. See: Michael E. Stone, "Armenian Canon Lists I—the Council of Partaw (768 CE)." ''Harvard Theological Review'' 66.4 (1973): 479-486; Michael E.
