However, the term is used loosely here to include most of the non-Roman Catholic Protestant, Charismatic / Pentecostal, Reformed, and Evangelical churches . Other western churches and movements that have a divergent history from Roman Catholicism, but are not necessarily considered to be historically Protestant, may also fall under this umbrella terminology . </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ The growth and development of the Armenian Biblical canon is complex . Extra-canonical Old Testament books appear in historical canon lists and recensions that are either exclusive to this tradition, or where they do exist elsewhere, never achieved the same status . These include the Deaths of the Prophets, an ancient account of the lives of the Old Testament prophets, which is not listed in this table . (It is also known as the Lives of the Prophets .) Another writing not listed in this table entitled the Words of Sirach--which is distinct from Ecclesiasticus and its prologue--appears in the appendix of the 1805 Armenian Zohrab Bible alongside other, more commonly known works . </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ Adding to the complexity of the Orthodox Tewahedo Biblical canon, the national epic Kebra Negast has an elevated status among many Ethiopian Christians to such an extent that some consider it to be inspired scripture . </Li> <Li> ^ Jump up to: The English Apocrypha includes the Prayer of Manasseh, 1 & 2 Esdras, the Additions to Esther, Tobit, Judith, 1 & 2 Maccabees, the Book of Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, the Letter of Jeremiah, and the Additions to Daniel . The Lutheran Apocrypha omits from this list 1 & 2 Esdras . Some Protestant Bibles include 3 Maccabees as part of the Apocrypha . However, many churches within Protestantism--as it is presented here--reject the Apocrypha, do not consider it useful, and do not include it in their Bibles . </Li> <Li> ^ Jump up to: The Prayer of Manasseh is included as part of the Book of Odes, which follows the Psalms in Eastern Orthodox Bibles . The rest of the Book of Odes consists of passages found elsewhere in the Bible . </Li> <Li> ^ Jump up to: 2 Ezra, 3 Ezra, and 3 Maccabees are included in Bibles and have an elevated status within the Armenian scriptural tradition, but are considered "extra-canonical ." </Li> <Li> ^ Jump up to: In many eastern Bibles, the Apocalypse of Ezra is not an exact match to the longer Latin Esdras--2 Esdras in KJV or 4 Esdras in the Vulgate--which includes a Latin prologue (5 Ezra) and epilogue (6 Ezra). However, a degree of uncertainty continues to exist here, and it is certainly possible that the full text--including the prologue and epilogue--appears in Bibles and Biblical manuscripts used by some of these eastern traditions . Also of note is the fact that many Latin versions are missing verses 7: 36--7: 106 . (A more complete explanation of the various divisions of books associated with the scribe Ezra may be found in the Wikipedia article entitled "Esdras".) </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ Evidence strongly suggests that a Greek manuscript of 4 Ezra once existed; this furthermore implies a Hebrew origin for the text . </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ An early fragment of 6 Ezra is known to exist in the Greek language, implying a possible Hebrew origin for 2 Esdras 15--16 . </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ Esther's placement within the canon was questioned by Luther . Others, like Melito, omitted it from the canon altogether . </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ 2 and 3 Meqabyan, though relatively unrelated in content, are often counted as a single book . </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ Some sources place Zëna Ayhud within the "narrower canon ." </Li> <Li> ^ Jump up to: A Syriac version of Josephus's Jewish War VI appears in some Peshitta manuscripts as the "Fifth Book of Maccabees," which is clearly a misnomer . </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ Several varying historical canon lists exist for the Orthodox Tewahedo tradition . In one particular list found in a British Museum manuscript (Add . 16188), a book of Assenath is placed within the canon . This most likely refers to the book more commonly known as Joseph and Asenath . An unknown book of Uzziah is also listed there, which may be connected to the lost Acts of Uziah referenced in 2 Chronicles 26: 22 . </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ Some traditions use an alternative set of liturgical and / or metrical Psalms . </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ In many ancient manuscripts, a distinct collection known as the Odes of Solomon is found together with the similar Psalms of Solomon . </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ The book of Sirach is usually preceded by a non-canonical prologue written by the author's grandson . </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ In some Latin versions, chapter 51 of Ecclesiasticus appears separately as the "Prayer of Joshua, son of Sirach ." </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ A shorter variant of the prayer by King Solomon in 1 Kings 8: 22--52 appeared in some medieval Latin manuscripts and is found in some Latin Bibles at the end of or immediately following Ecclesiasticus . The two versions of the prayer in Latin may be viewed online for comparison at the following website: BibleGateway.com: Sirach 52 / 1 Kings 8: 22--52; Vulgate </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ The "Martyrdom of Isaiah" is prescribed reading to honor the prophet Isaiah within the Armenian Apostolic liturgy (see this list). While this likely refers to the account of Isaiah's death within the Lives of the Prophets, it may be a reference to the account of his death found within the first five chapters of the Ascension of Isaiah, which is widely known by this name . The two narratives have similarities and may share a common source . </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ The Ascension of Isaiah has long been known to be a part of the Orthodox Tewahedo scriptural tradition . Though it is not currently considered canonical, various sources attest to the early canonicity--or at least "semi-canonicity"--of this book . </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ In some Latin versions, chapter 5 of Lamentations appears separately as the "Prayer of Jeremiah ." </Li> <Li> ^ Jump up to: Ethiopic Lamentations consists of eleven chapters, parts of which are considered to be non-canonical . </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ The canonical Ethiopic version of Baruch has five chapters, but is shorter than the LXX text . </Li> <Li> ^ Jump up to: Some Ethiopic translations of Baruch may include the traditional Letter of Jeremiah as the sixth chapter . </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ The "Letter to the Captives" found within Säqoqawä Eremyas--and also known as the sixth chapter of Ethiopic Lamentations--may contain different content from the Letter of Jeremiah (to those same captives) found in other traditions . </Li> <Li> ^ Jump up to: The Letter of Baruch is found in chapters 78--87 of 2 Baruch--the final ten chapters of the book . The letter had a wider circulation and often appeared separately from the first 77 chapters of the book, which is an apocalypse . </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ Included here for the purpose of disambiguation, 3 Baruch is widely rejected as a pseudepigraphon and is not part of any Biblical tradition . Two manuscripts exist--a longer Greek manuscript with Christian interpolations and a shorter Slavonic version . There is some uncertainty about which was written first . </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ Bel and the Dragon, Susanna, & The Prayer of Azariah and Song of the Three Holy Children . </Li> </Ol>
