Where can you get a Bible that has all 73 books?

A:From a purely objective point of view, there is no "all 73 books" of the Bible. Prior to the Council of Jamnia in around 96 CE, there were many books that were used by the Jews for religious purposes, but the Council pruned these to just 39 books that were considered to be inspired. Most Protestant Churches accept these 39 books in the Old Testament, plus the New Testament to make a total of 66 books. The standard Roman Catholic Bible contains 15 additional books such as 1 Maccabees and 2 Maccabees in its Old Testament, and considers them deuterocanonical (second canon), inspired but less so than the canonical books. Any Catholic Bible will provide this more complete set of books. However, most Catholic Bibles do not contain books such as 3 Maccabees and 4 Maccabees. Ethiopian Orthodox Bibles contain books such as Enoch and Jubilees, but not 1 Maccabees and 2 Maccabees.
