History, Wisdom, and Apocalyptic Visions: The Deuterocanonical Books and the Apocrypha

The following books and parts of books are listed separately because they are “Deuterocanonical”. That means they are the “second canon (list of sacred writings).” They were added later to the canon of the Old Testament, both by the Jews (1n Greek Alexandria) and the early Christian Church.

The Deuterocanonical Books were written only in Greek and not in Hebrew. This is one reason why most Protestants and the Jews of Palestine do not include them in their Bible. But the same Catholic Church that defined the first canon also declared the second to be inspired at the Council of Trent. The Orthodox churches of the East also accept them as canonical, with the exception of Baruch.
