Best Answer

The holy book of the Catholic faith is the Holy Bible, as canonized after the Council of Nicaea, being reaffirmed at the Council of Trent after Martin Luther began removing books from the canon. So, the Catholic Bible includes all the same books as the Protestant versions, with the inclusion of what they call the "apocrypha". Namely, those are the books of Sirach (Ben Sira), Baruch, Song of Solomon, Judith, 1 & 2 Maccabees (Eastern Orthodox Churches also include 3 Maccabees), Wisdom, and Tobit. These books tell the story of Israel during the so-called "intertestamental period", i.e. life under the Greeks in Alexander's Empire, then the Seleucid Empire. In essence, they fill in the contextual gap for Jesus' ministry.
