Body: | Canon of the Old Testament Lists and Catalogues of Old Testament Canon Collections A conservative, bible believing perspective! God's providence gave us the 27 book New Testament Canon, not the church. God, not men decided the canon. This providence does not mean that church leaders were inspired in their selecting the canon, only that God had his eye on the scriptures the whole time and brought about His will to form the Bible we see today!

Ep Jer Job Ezek Prov Dan Song Wis Sir Table C-4: Current Canons of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament This table is based on Appendix D of The SBL Handbook of Style (Peabody: Hendrickson, 1999), 168-71 Jewish The traditional number of books in the Jewish canon is twenty-four. Orthodox "Orthodox" here refers to the Greek and Russian Orthodox churches, the Slavonic Bible being the traditional text of the latter. In Orthodox Bibles, 4 Maccabees and the Prayer of Manasseh-and in Slavonic, 3 Esdras-are in an appendix. Roman Catholic The traditional number of books in the Roman Catholic canon is forty-nine. The order of books in Roman Catholic Bibles varies. This order reflects current editions, such as the Jerusalem Bible and the New American Bible. The appendix of the Latin Vulgate contains 3 Esdras, 4 Esdras, and the Prayer of Manasseh.
