<P> The table uses the spellings and names present in modern editions of the Bible, such as the New American Bible Revised Edition, Revised Standard Version and English Standard Version . The spelling and names in both the 1609--1610 Douay Old Testament (and in the 1582 Rheims New Testament) and the 1749 revision by Bishop Challoner (the edition currently in print used by many Catholics, and the source of traditional Catholic spellings in English) and in the Septuagint differ from those spellings and names used in modern editions that derive from the Hebrew Masoretic text . </P> <P> For the Orthodox canon, Septuagint titles are provided in parentheses when these differ from those editions . For the Catholic canon, the Douaic titles are provided in parentheses when these differ from those editions . Likewise, the King James Version references some of these books by the traditional spelling when referring to them in the New Testament, such as "Esaias" (for Isaiah). </P> <P> In the spirit of ecumenism more recent Catholic translations (e.g., the New American Bible, Jerusalem Bible, and ecumenical translations used by Catholics, such as the Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition) use the same "standardized" (King James Version) spellings and names as Protestant Bibles (e.g., 1 Chronicles, as opposed to the Douaic 1 Paralipomenon, 1 - 2 Samuel and 1 - 2 Kings, instead of 1 - 4 Kings) in those books universally considered canonical--the protocanonicals . </P> <P> The Talmud in Bava Batra 14b gives a different order for the books in Nevi'im and Ketuvim . This order is also quoted in Mishneh Torah Hilchot Sefer Torah 7: 15 . The order of the books of the Torah are universal through all denominations of Judaism and Christianity . </P>
