Do Catholics and Protestants and Orthodox Christians have different Scriptures?
No! As far as the Christian Scriptures are concerned they are all united. Christians of the three major groups--Roman Catholics, Protestants and Eastern Orthodox--are united in recognizing the 27 books of the Christian Scriptures, which are commonly known as the New Testament, as the final revelation of God to mankind. Christians are thus united in their recognition of their Scriptures i.e. Christian Scriptures. However, they differ on the Old Testament Scriptures, There are seventy-three books in the Catholic Bible; forty-six in the Old Testament and twenty-seven in the New Testament. Until the Protestant Reformation the 'Catholic' Bible was the only edition since, obviously, there was no other major denomination till then. The Protestant Bible is based on the Council of Jamnia (90 AD), whereas the Catholic Bible is based largely on the Septuagint (132 BC). The Seven books that were dropped in the Council of Jamnia (90 AD) were: Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, 1 & 2 Maccabees, Esther 10:4-16-16:24 and Daniel 3:24-90 and 13:1-14:42. Until the Protestant Reformation, these books were in the recognised canons as approved by the Catholic Church. After the Reformation, the Council of Trent (1545-1563 AD) reaffirmed the Canon as approved by Pope Damasus and the Synod of Rome (382), the local Councils of Hippo (393) and Carthage (397), and the Canon contained in the Latin Vulgate translation (420) as the Holy Bible. The Orthodox Church has added several books which are considered Apocrypha to their Canon.
