What specific books were included in the Septuagint?
AnswerThe Septuagint ('LXX') was an early Greek translation of all the Hebrew scriptures. At the time of the first translations into Greek, the Hebrew canon had not yet been established, so there was no set guideline as to which books were worthy of translation.The LXX certainly began with the translation of the Pentateuch, as these were regarded as the five most important scriptures, but the project continued until all the scriptures were available to the Jews of the diaspora, who could not read the scriptures in Hebrew.

Why are there books of the Old Testament missing from the Protestant Bible?
A:The split between Christianity and Judaism occurred before the Jews had decided on which scriptures would form the canon of the Hebrew Bible. Being unable to seek advice from the Jews, the early Christian Church, which eventually split into Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches, adopted the Hebrew scriptures that were believed most likely to be inspired works. Independently, the Jewish scribes discarded some of these books on the grounds that they were not considered inspired. Most Protestant Churches eventually discarded from their Old Testament the books that were not included in the Hebrew Bible. They also discarded material such as the Additions to Esther, on the same grounds.

What is the significance of the Dead Sea Scrolls for Christians?
The Dead Sea Scrolls provided the oldest available manuscripts of the Hebrew scriptures written in their original languages, and allowed scholars to check the accuracy of the Masoretic texts used by Judaism, as well as the accuracy of the Septuagint, an early Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures. Whenever the Septuagint seemed to favour Christianity, when compared with the Masoretic texts, Christian apologists had accused the Jews of altering their own holy scriptures to disadvantage Christianity. The Dead Sea Scrolls showed that the Masoretic texts were little changed from the scriptures in use early in the first century CE. This proved that most discrepancies between the Septuagint and the Masoretic texts were the result of mistranslations by the authors of the Septuagint.

Did Catholics add thing in the Holy Bible?
Answer: At the time of Jesus, there were 2 sets of scriptures: one for the Jews who understood Hebrew in the Holy Land and the Septuagint which was a translation of the books into Greek for those Jews in the diaspora and who didn't speak Hebrew. The Septuagint contained 7 books absent from the Hebrew version. When the Church leaders gathered to decide which writings would make up the Bible, most of them were Greek speaking, so it was natural that they selected the Greek translation of the scriptures used by the Jews. The 7 extra books were rejected by Martin Luther although they were included at the end of the Bible published by Protestants at the time of the Reformation. So, no, Catholicism did not add anything to the Holy Bible.
