The books of the Bible differ in the canons of the Jews, and Catholic, Protestant, and Eastern Orthodox Christians, although there is overlap. Below is a partial table comparing the canons of these denominations, for both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. (This is a work in progress. I hope to finish the first draft by 05/20).
