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"
