in the
King James Version, listing "The Books of the Old Testament", "The Books called Apocrypha", and "The Books of the New Testament" Bibles used by Catholics differ in the number and order of books from those typically found in
Bibles used by Protestants, as Catholic bibles retain in their canon seven books that are regarded as non-canonical in Protestantism (though regarding them as non-canonical, many
Protestant Bibles traditionally include these books and others as an intertestamental section known as the
Apocrypha, totaling to an
80 book Bible, e.g. the
King James Version with Apocrypha). As such, its canon of Old Testament texts is somewhat larger than that in translations used by Protestants, which are typically based exclusively on the shorter
Hebrew and
Aramaic Masoretic Text. On the other hand, its canon, which does not accept all the books that are included in the Septuagint, is shorter than that of some churches of
Eastern and
Oriental Orthodoxy, which recognize other books as sacred scripture. According to the Greek Orthodox Church, "The translation of the Seventy [the Septuagint] was for the Church the Apostolic Bible, to which both the Lord and His disciples refer. [...] It enjoys divine authority and prestige as the Bible of the indivisible Church of the first eight centuries. It constitutes the Old Testament, the official text of our Orthodox Church and remains the authentic text by which the official translations of the Old Testament of the other sister Orthodox Churches were made; it was the divine instrument of pre-Christ evangelism and was the basis of Orthodox Theology." The
Greek Orthodox Church generally considers
Psalm 151 to be part of the
Book of Psalms, the
Prayer of Manasseh as the final chapter of
2 Chronicles, and accepts the "books of the Maccabees" as four in number, but generally places
4 Maccabees in an appendix. The
Bible of the Tewahedo Churches differs from the Western and Greek Orthodox Bibles in the order, naming, and chapter/verse division of some of the books. The Ethiopian "narrow" biblical canon includes 81 books altogether: The 27 books of the New Testament; the Old Testament books found in the Septuagint and that are accepted by the Eastern Orthodox (more numerous than the Catholic deuterocanonical books); and in addition
Enoch,
Jubilees,
1 Esdras,
2 Esdras,
Rest of the Words of Baruch and 3 books of
Meqabyan. A "broader" Ethiopian New Testament canon includes 4 books of "Sinodos" (church practices), 2 "Books of Covenant", "Ethiopic Clement", and "Ethiopic Didascalia" (
Apostolic Church-Ordinances). This "broader" canon is sometimes said to include with the Old Testament an 8-part history of the Jews based on the writings of
Titus Flavius Josephus, and known as "Pseudo-Josephus" or "Joseph ben Gurion" (
Yosēf walda Koryon). ==See also==
