    are there 73 books in the bible?

    Are there more than 66 books in the bible?

  2. #2

    It depends. Here's a collection of apocrypha The Apocrypha Index

  3. #3

    Depends, in protestant bibles there are 66, in the Catholic bible it is 73.

    this is because the early church with it's large number of bi-ingual Jews and greek gentiles decided to adopt the Septuagint. After the reformation they removed 7 of these books from thier canon that they decided were questionable (Apocrypha). The New Testament is the same between the two though
