Proving the Deuterocanonicals —What’s Your Authority?
Catholics accept all 73 books of the Bible as inspired and inerrant. Most Protestants accept only 66 books. What are the other seven books, and why did the Reformers (sic) remove them from the canon? These are the Deuterocanonical books of the Bible: Sirach, Tobit, Wisdom, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees, and Baruch, as well as longer versions of Daniel and Esther. Patrick Coffin puts the basic elements of the debate all in one place. Scripture verses mentioned: 2 Tim 3:16 2 Maccabees 12 Jude v. 9 Heb 11:35/2 Macc. 7:1-42. Luke 1:42/Judith 13:18. Rom. 1:20/Wis. 13:1

Question Patrick-
There seems to be some vagueness surrounding three books in the Vulgate and in regard to the decree of Trent. I mean the Prayer of Manasseh and 3rd and 4th Esdras.
Now, I have the Clementine Vulgate/Douay parallel translation. Those three works are certainly there.
What do you think of those works?
