The seven "extra" books of the Catholic Bible are called Deuterocanonical books or "Apocrypha" by Protestants. Protestants do not consider these books to be part of the Canon or standard writings of Scripture.
These books include:
- Tobit
- Judith
- Wisdom
- Sirach
- Baruch
- 1 Maccabees
- 2 Maccabees
These books are added as a separate section between the Old and New Testaments or as an appendix after the New Testament in Catholic or Eastern Orthodox bibles. Two of these books (Tobit and Sirach) were found among the Dead Sea scrolls, which represent the oldest known copy of biblical works. The book of Enoch is considered religious writing but not part of the biblical canon. This also was found in the Dead Sea scrolls so it still doesn't answer the debate about whether the 7 books are part of canon or not.
