The Bible canon across churches
Which books make up the Bible in different churches. The reference point is the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments: the table shows which books beyond these each tradition's Bible contains and which of the 66 it lacks.
The table records the practice of each church; it takes no side in the dispute about the canon. Books of one group with the same marks in every column share one row.
- in the canon — the book belongs to the canon; for an edition, it is printed in the body of the Bible
- outside the canon — the book is in this Bible but outside or below the canon: read in church, called non-canonical or printed as an appendix
- no data — the sources found say nothing about this book
- absent — empty cell: the book is not in this Bible
