Deuterocanonical books & Protestant exclusions
- "deutero" = second, so "belonging to the second canon"
- also called "biblical apocrypha"
- the Deuterocanonical books are seven books from later Old Testament writings that were accepted and studied at the time of Christ
- they also included additions to other OT works, including a Psalm
- but which later Jews (after 1st century AD) and, later, Protestants, disregarded
- primarily because of their references to intercessions of the saints, prayers to the dead, purgatory, resurrection of the body and confession
- Protestants call these books "Apocrypha" and do not consider them canonical
- they also included additions to other OT works, including a Psalm
- the books were part of the Septuagint (a Greek translation of the Old Testament), which was the most commonly used OT form during the 1st century A.D. (times of Christ)
- Martin Luther excluded the books of Hebrews, James, Jude and Revelation from his canon (list of divine scripture
- because he claimed these books contradicted sola gratia (salvation by grace alone) and sola fide (justification by faith alone)
- Protestant doctrines of justification and salvation are called the "five solae"
