Books of the Bible.
Books of the Hebrew Scriptures appear as listed in the
translation by the Jewish Publication Society of America. Books of the
Christian Bible appear as listed in the Jerusalem Bible, a 1966 translation
of the 1956 French Roman Catholic version. The Old Testament books shown in
italic are considered apocryphal in many Christian churches, but they are
accepted as canonical in the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox
Church, and the Armenian and the Ethiopian Oriental Orthodox Church. The
Christian Old Testament parallels the Hebrew Scriptures with the exception of
these books.
