IV. The Canon of Scripture
120
. It was by the apostolic Tradition that the church discerned which writings are to be included in the list of the sacred books. (Cf. Dei Verbum 8§ 3) This complete list is called the canon of Scripture. It includes 46 books for the Old Testament (45 if we count Jeremiah and Lamentations as one) and 27 for the New. (Cf. Denzinger-Schonmetzer, Enchiridion Symbolorum definitionum et declarationum de rebus fidei et morum {1965})
The Old Testament: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings, 1 and 2 Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah, Tobit, Judith, Ester, 1 and 2 Maccabees, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, the Song of Songs, Wisdom, Sirach (Ecclesiasticus), Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Baruch, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hose4a, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi.
The New Testament: the Gospels according toMatthew, Mark, Luke and John, the Acts of the Apostles, the Letters of St. Paul to the Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, the Letter to the Hebrews, the Letters of James, 1 and 2 Peter, 1, 2, and 3 John, andJude, and Revelation (the Apocalypse).
Roman Catholic AnswerYou are operating with a mistaken assumption. The Catholic Church wrote the Bible, the Catholic Church decided which books were canonical (included in the Bible), and the Catholic Church has conserved the Bible through the centuries. The only ones who changed any Scriptures in the Bible are the protestants, who, after fifteen centuries of a Bible preserved by the Catholic Church came along and threw books out of the Bible, and changed the meanings of books they would not throw out.
Both Judaism and Christianity consider the Hebrew Bible to be part of their sacred scriptures. Islam believes that the Hebrew Bible is the writings of the prophets of God but that the Koran is the ultimate prophecy given by God.
A non-catholic bible has 66 books in it. The Catholic bible has exactly 7 more books in it altogether. (These include both the New and Old Testament.)

The word "Bible" means "the scriptures" or "the sacred writings." It is derived from the Greek word "biblia," which means "books."
It is called the Bible or the Sacred Scriptures. God inspired humans to write it.
The "official" Catholic version of the Bible is the New Vulgate Bible, which is the official Latin translation of the Sacred Scriptures based on the Septuagint, which was the Greek translation that Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, used when He was quoting from the Old Testament, and from the original Latin translation made by St. Jerome, of the Greek New Testament books.
Of course the Bible, but the Catholic had to interpret it in their Catechism. The catholic believe that Bible is not enough for salvation. Their lies a tradition called the Apostolic tradition. The church magisterium is the teaching of the church.
Bible is the Holy Bible book of Christianitycollections of sacred scripture related to Judaism and Christianity. Bible usually made up of 66 books combining the sacred Scriptures of both Judaism ("the Old Testament ") and Christianity (" the New Testament").The Bible is the best selling book in history with more than 6 billion copies published.
The Torah is the Five Books of Moses. It is the holiest of Jewish books and the scroll upon which it is written is considered a sacred object. The Tanach, which is the Hebrew Bible, contains the Torah, the Prophets and the Scriptures. Together, these make up the written law.
Roman Catholic AnswerYou have this a little confused. First of all, when you are asking about the "Roman" Church, I assume that you are asking about the Catholic Church. Secondly, if you are asking about the Catholic Church, then please realize that the Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ. The Church, as in the Pope and the Bishops are not capable of making a decision as to placing anything on the same level as the Bible, the Church only receiveswhat It believes from God, and It must follow what It has received. Finally, read your history, the Catholic Church wrote the Bible in the first century as part of Its preaching, had two Councils and a Pope decided which books belong in the Bible in the fourth and fifth century, and has carefully preserved the Sacred Scriptures from error since then. The Sacred Scriptures which are the very Word of God (Jesus Christ) in the Words of God is part of the Sacred Tradition that Our Blessed Lord gave Her to teach to the people everywhere at all times.
