Catholic and non-catholic Bibles


Recommended Posts

What books are different? I don't mean like words in verses being a little different, but what books might be only in the Catholic Bible only and are all other things named the same?

The additional books in the Catholic Bible (and in the Greek Orthodox and Slavonic traditions) are:

Tobit Judith Wisdom of Solomon Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Baruch Letter of Jeremiah (= Baruch ch. 6) 1 & 2 Maccabees

Additions to Esther (6 chapters)

Additions to Daniel (3 chapters): Prayer of Azariah & Song of the Three Jews, Susanna, Bel & the Dragon

Additional books found in the Greek and Slavonic Bibles, but not in the Catholic Bible:

1 & 2 Esdras Prayer of Manasseh Psalm 151 3 Maccabees

Additional books in some other traditions are:

3 & 4 Esdras 4 Maccabees

Some translations of the Catholic Bible call certain books different the the others.

For example, the DRV calls the Book of Revelation, Apocalypse.

I like the "Prayer of Manasseh", I don't know how I'd feel about it being Scripture (I leave that judgment up to the Church), but it's a pretty cool prayer (even better in Latin...) ;)

This will help with the name differences
