The Protestant Bible is made up of 66 books, Martin Luther found the teachings in seven books of the Old Testament problematic (as well as some in the New Testament). He was successful in throwing out the ones in the Old Testament, but the other "reformers" would not allow him to gut the New Testament in the same way. His translation of the Old Testament was based on the Jewish Scriptures that were canonized in the first century AFTER Our Blessed Lord died as they did not want to keep the same seven books as supporting the Catholic Church. You can see why Martin Luther sided with the Jews over the Christians. This is the Bible that is used by all protestant churches, including Methodists.

How many books are there in the Old Testament?
There are 39 books in the Protestant Old Testament from Genesis to Malachi. If there are more than that in your Bible, it is because it is a Catholic version (46), an Orthodox version, or includes the Apocrypha in the number. That is because the Septuagent was used as the source material. It contains more books than the Masoretic text and was thus not accepted as authentic by mainstream rabbinic Judaism.
