== Deuterocanonical books & Protestant exclusions == * "deutero" = second, so "belonging to the second canon" ** also called "biblical apocrypha" * the Deuterocanonical books are seven books from later Old Testament writings that were accepted and studied at the time of Christ ** they also included additions to other OT works, including a Psalm *** but which later Jews (after 1st century AD) and, later, Protestants, disregarded *** primarily because of their references to intercessions of the saints, prayers to the dead, purgatory, resurrection of the body and confession ** Protestants call these books "Apocrypha" and do not consider them canonical * the books were part of the Septuagint (a Greek translation of the Old Testament), which was the most commonly used OT form during the 1st century A.D. (times of Christ) * Martin Luther excluded the books of Hebrews, James, Jude and Revelation from his canon (list of divine scripture ** because he claimed these books contradicted ''sola gratia'' (salvation by grace alone) and ''sola fide'' (justification by faith alone) ** Protestant doctrines of justification and salvation are called the "five ''solae''" * see **[https://www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/answering-the-most-common-objection-to-the-deuterocanonical-books Answering the Most Common Objection to the Deuterocanonical Books | Catholic Answers Magazine] **[https://www.saintmina-holmdel.org/phocadownload/Servants/2015-2017/Deuterocanonical%20Books%20P1.pdf#:~:text=Protestants%20reject%20them%20on%202%20grounds%3A%20Jews%20didn%E2%80%99t,%282%20Maccabees%2015%3A14%29%20Intercession%20of%20angels%20%28Tobit%2012%3A12-15%29 The Deuterocanonical Books slide show] [[Category:Catechism of the Catholic Church]] [[Category:Bible]]
