* These books are considered by Protestants to be Aprocypha and are usually not included in their Bibles. There is a dispute as to whether or not they are true scripture. Some of these books are accepted by the Catholic Church. The Catholic Bible also includes extra parts to some accepted books. An example of this is the book of David which has extra chapters.
