THE BIBLE CANON : M. M. NINAN<br />
The Hebrew <strong>Bible</strong> and Protestant Old Testament have the same books arranged in a<br />
different order.<br />
Additionally, books that Christians divide into two parts (Kings, Chronicles, Samuel, and<br />
Ezra-Nehemiah) are single books in the Hebrew <strong>Bible</strong>.<br />
The Samaritan <strong>Bible</strong> contains only five books, the Torah (Pentateuch). Some differences in<br />
content exist among first five books of the Samaritan, Jewish, and Christian <strong>Bible</strong>s.<br />
The Roman Catholic Old Testament includes all books in the Protestant Old Testament plus<br />
others that Protestants call the Apocrypha. For the most part, the Roman Catholic Old<br />
Testament includes the books in the Septuagint (LXX), an ancient Greek translation of<br />
Jewish writings, which included not only the Tanakh but additional documents.<br />
