Books of the Bible

The Books of the Bible are the different sections of the Bible. Each book has a different name. Most books of the Bible are named after the person who is thought to have written the book. Some are not. Different religions, and different denominations of Christianity, have different lists of books of the Bible. These different groups accept different books. These groups also use different names for some of the same books. The stories in the "Books of the Bible" are very similar for all religious groups. Some people memorize the Bible or its individual books.^[1]

Below, there is a list or table that compares the Books of the Bible in Judaism and in the Catholic, Protestant, Greek Orthodox, Slavonic Orthodox, Georgian, Armenian Apostolic, Syriac, and Ethiopian Churches. The table covers both the Old Testament and the New Testament. For a detailed discussion of the differences, see "Biblical canon".

The Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Eastern Catholic churches have small differences in the lists of books that they accept. If at least one Eastern church accepts a book, then that book is listed in this table. The Eastern churches accept all of the books that the Roman Catholic Church accepts.
