It should be noted that the Greek Orthodox , Oriental Orthodox , and Eastern Catholic churches may have minor differences in the list of accepted books. The list given here for these churches is the most broad list of canonical books — that is, if at least one eastern church accepts the book, it is included in the list here. The books included by the Roman Catholic Church are universally included in the eastern canons. THE TANAKH AND THE PROTESTANT, ROMAN CATHOLIC, AND GREEK ORTHODOX OLD TESTAMENTS
NEW TESTAMENT BOOKS SHARED BY MANY MODERN CHRISTIAN GROUPS The , Book Of Enoch , the Shepherd Of Hermas , 1 Clement , Acts Of Paul , and some uniquely Ethiopian books. There is a matter of some controversy as to what constitutes "canon" in this religious body. The Peshitta of the Syriac Orthodox Church excludes 2-3 John, 2 Peter, Jude, and Revelation. The Armenian Orthodox include Third Epistle To The Corinthians .

These are not in the Protestant Old Testament. 5 The Latin Vulgate and the Douay-Rheims place First and Second Maccabees after Malachi instead of Esther. 6 These books are not in the Protestant and Catholic Old Testaments. 7 The Book of Odes includes the Prayer Of Manasseh .

Nonetheless, in German editions of Luther's Bible, these are printed at the end of the New Testament, rather than the order given above. 12The Eastern Orthodox church follows the Septuagint and the Hebrew bibles by considering the books of Ezra and Nehemiah as one book. 13Names in brackets are the Septuagint names and are often used by the Orthodox Christians.
