Who took the 7 Catholic books out of the Bible?
It was Martin Luther who removed the seven Deuterocanonical books from the Old Testament along with the Deuterocanonicals in the New Testament. The other protestant "reformers" disagree with Luther and put the Deuterocanicals back in the New Testament and returned the Deuterocanonicals to the Old Testament, although in a separate section. Later protestants, generations later, completely removed the Old Testament Deuterocanonicals.
What is the difference of protocanonical and deuterocanonical?
the difference between the two is that the protocanonical books are the ones which includes some of the books in the protestant religion, while deuterocanonicals are purely catholic books in the bible.
Who uses The Way Bible?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Way Bible was written for young people in Contemporary English. It was published by protestants, although they eventually came out with a translation which included the deuterocanonicals for Catholics, I do not know whether it has an imprimatur or not.
What book is the largest book in the Catholic Bible?
Catholic AnswerThe longest book in the Bible is the book of Psalms, there really is no "Catholic Bible" per se, just Bibles that have not had the Old Testament Deuterocanonicals removed as would be the case with the modern protestant Bibles. Thus a "Catholic Bible" would be any translation that has been approved by the Church and given an Imprimatur.
Is Robert in The Bible?
I can not find "Robert" in either Scott Hahn's concordance (in the back of the Ignatius Study Bible or in his Catholic Bible Dictionary no in Strong's, and as I don't remember the name in any of the Deuterocanonicals, I have a feeling that it is not there.
What is the apocrypha and why is it not accepted in many protestant churches?
The Apocrypha are books which the Protestant church removed from their bibles. They claim that the Roman church added them. This is not true. The early church ALWAYS regarded them as scripture in some form even if it was lesser enough to label them as Deuterocanonical. FYI, James,2 Peter,2 and 3 John,Jude and Revelations are all Deuterocanonicals and were "added" hundreds of years after the canon was created. Do a little research on the early church and you will see the truth. The books are Tobit, Judith, additions to Esther and Daniel,Ecclesiaticus,Wisdom of Solomon,and 2 books of Maccabees.
Is the New Revised Standard Bible protestant or Catholic?
There are two versions: one Catholic and one Protestant. The version with Deuterocanonicals/Apocrypha is the Catholic version. Both are out of print, but you can purchase them used online. God bless you!
What did Luther imply by telling people to rely only on the Bible for religious truth?
Luther was saying that the Bible is truth. Do not rely on man to tell you the truth. If you go to church it is a good idea to read the scriptures yourself as they can be misrepresented by the speaker, preacher, priest. Rely on no man, but rather rely on the Holy Scriptures for truth. God will not lie to you.
Why does the Catholic version of the book of Esther differ from the Protestant version?
There may be slight differences owing to translation and interpretation of each word in the original, but the books are exactly the same. The only difference between a Catholic bible and a Protestant one is the Deuterocanonicals.
What year did the church canonize the books of the Bible?
The answer depends on which church and which Bible you are asking about. Remember that there is the Hebrew Bible, which contain sacred writings of the Jewish faith. Among Christians, there is the Roman Catholic Bible and the Protestant Bible, which differ around the inclusion or exclusion of deuterocanonicals, or the books of the the Apocrypha. Limiting this answer to the New Testament: The books of the NT were all composed by the beginning of the second century of the current era (CE). Two forces were at work during the early adoption of the canon: Marcion, a wealthy shipowner from Sinope, sought to make the canon small. Elements of Gnosticism and Monatanism sought to make it larger. In an Easter letter written in 367 CE by Ananaisous, Bishop of Alexandria, the 27 books that now make up the Christian NT were named. The Third Council of Carthage in 397 CE listed the same 27 books. Source: Daniel J. Harrington, S.J in the The New Interpreter's Bible Commentary, Abingdon Press. other interesting sources include works by Elaine Pagels, like "Beyond Belief" and "Forgotten Scriptures, The Selection and Rejection of Early Religious Writings" by Lee Martin McDonald.

How many books are there in the Apocrypha?
How many books depends on what religion you choose to follow or put faith in. It also depends on which reference to Apocypha you are inquiring about. To some, it encompasses all books that were removed from the modern day Bible. To others, it gives name to the selection of the "hidden books" that was chose to be added by Roman Catholics. Apocrypha is also known to many as the Old Testament. You will find several more books in the Catholic Old Testament than in the Protestant Bible, the Protestant counting 39 and the Catholic counting 46 or 47 booksHere is a list of the Different Books of Divergent Traditions:Those accepted by the Church of Rome, the Greek and Slavonic Orthodox:TobitJudithWisdom of SolomonEcclesiasticus (or the Wisdom of Jesus the son of Sirach)BaruchLetter of Jeremiah (in Catholic tradition, Baruch 6)1 Maccabees2 MaccabeesAdditions to Daniel (Prayer of Azariah & the Song of the Three Young Men, the History of Susanna, and the History of the Destruction of Bel & the Dragon)Additions to the Book of EstherThose accepted by the all Orthodox Churches:1 Esdras (Ezra)*Prayer of Manasseh*†3 MaccabeesAn additional Psalm (151)The Slavonic Orthodox Church adds:2 Esdras, 4-6 Ezra, or the Ezra Apocalypse (only found in Latin)*The Greek Orthodox add in an appendix:4 Maccabees (sometimes called On the Supremacy of Reason)In the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures, also where the other apocryphal/deuterocanonical books are found) there is another book not currently accepted among any church today:The Psalms of SolomonAside from this list, there are many books known by Protestants as 'pseudepigrapha' (Catholics and Orthodox call the books listed before 'Deuterocanonical' and the following books 'apocryphal') Here are just a few:Life of Adam and EveThe Odes of SolomonJoseph and AsenathThe Book of EnochThe Book of Jubilees5 MaccabeesThe Martyrdom of IsaiahPsalms 152-155And literally thousands of others (not to mention all of the New Testament Apocrypha)*These books are found in the Latin Vulgate but are not canonical in the Roman Catholic Church, but are also collected with the other Catholic deuterocanonicals in what is called "The Protestant Apocrypha"† The Prayer of Manasseh was found in the Septuagint Book of Odes, a collection of Biblical psalms, hymns, and prayers which came after the Psalms
