The term Biblical Canon refers to the various books that are accepted as books of Holy Scripture. Different religions have their own lists of sacred books.

Protestants and Jews agree on the same 39 books of the Old Testament but disagree on the order of placement. Roman Catholics and Orthodox add more books, the Catholics have two more books in their Old Testament Canon than the Orthodox. All Christians agree on the Canon of 27 books for the New Testament.

Muslims have for their Canon: The first 5 books of Moses, Psalms, the four Gospels, and the Koran.

Other religions have different Canons.
