== Deuterocanonical books & Protestant exclusions == | |||
* "deutero" = second, so "belonging to the second canon" | |||
* 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''" | |||
