Catholic vs. Protestant Bibles - Holy Trinity Catholic Church
1 Catholic vs. Protestant Bibles By Greg Witherow Catholic Bibles contain Old Testament books not found in Protestant Bibles and as such Catholics are sometimes asked to explain this discrepancy. In this short essay we will briefly cover the differences between the Catholic and Protestant Bibles and the reasons behind those differences. The Books In Question The Catholic bible has seven books and parts of two others in the Old Testament that are not found in Protestant Bibles1. Catholics refer to these books as the Deutercanonical2 books while Protestants refer to them as apocryphal3 books. The books in question are the following: Tobit Judith The Book of Wisdom Sirach (also called Ecclesiaticus) Baruch 1 Maccabees 2 Maccabees Seven chapters in the book of Esther4 Two chapters and a prayer in the book of Daniel5 But how did these books find their way into the Catholic bible and why do Protestants dispute them?
the Catholic version contain all the prayers made by Esther and her appeals to God’s intervention (chapters 10-16). 5 The two additional Catholic chapters of the book of Daniel are Susanna (chapter 13) and Bel and the Dragon (chapter 14) and the prayers of the three children (chapter 3, verses 23 and 24).
