Apocrypha
In the standard Bible there are 39 Books in the Old Testament and 27 in the New testament making 66 in all. However, bibles vary as to which books are accepted as 'canonical' - accepted as scripture because of their providence and teaching. Roman Catholic Bibles differ especially in the Old Testament where certain other books (part of an additional, non-canonical section called the Apocrypha in protestant Bibles) are included. The Greek Orthodox Bible also differs slightly with the addition of extra books in the Old Testament. However, except for just a few minor differences in the letters, all New testament books are the same across the Lutheran, Protestamt, Catholic and Orthodox churches.
Catholics believe in what Protestants call the Apocrypha. However, Catholics do not call these books the Apocrypha, they are the Deuterocanonical Scriptures because they are the Word of God, and have been since the 4 century B.C. The Apocrypha are those books which were not accepted into the Canon- attached below is a complete list of the Apocrypha.
