๐ “Why Do Some Bibles Have 66 Books and Others 73?”
"I believe in God and know the Bible to be His word. The roots of this faith began in the Presbyterian Church (Korea)."
For nearly 65 years of my life, the Bible I knew was the 66 books, combining the Old and New Testaments.
Currently, as someone who loves reading the Bible, I was summarizing the book of Genesis. Last night, on YouTube, I saw a title suggesting the existence of the Book of Enoch. The Book of Enoch? I asked Gemini, an artificial intelligence.
I read the 66 books of the Bible not because I believe the number itself is absolute and canonical, but out of a desire to know the word of God contained within it.
Although the Bible went through the process of being recorded and classified into multiple books in history, I believe that God's providence was behind all these movements. It is natural to also examine the records cherished by other denominations, and I believe that doing so can help us to recognize the value of the 66 books we have now more clearly.
1. Comparison of Bible Volumes by Denomination
| Denomination | No. of Books | Characteristics |
| Protestant | 66 | Focus on Hebrew Old Testament texts (Strictest criteria) |
| Catholic | 73 | Continuation of the Greek (Septuagint) tradition |
| Ethiopian Orthodox | 81 | A 'time capsule' preserving ancient documents in their original form |
2. Books Present in the Catholic Bible But Not in the Protestant Bible
In Protestant tradition, these books are called the “Apocrypha” and are not included in the canon. However, in the Catholic Church, they are valued as the “Deuterocanonical” books. The main books are as follows:

3. Why Did This Difference Occur?
The primary reason is the choice of 'language' and 'tradition'.
The 16th-century reformers, in an effort to establish the strict authority of the Bible, established the principle that "only books with a confirmed Hebrew original text should be recognized as canonical." On the other hand, the Catholic church maintained the tradition of the Greek translation that had been widely read since the time of the early church. That is, it is simply a difference in perspective between 'the strictness of the original' and 'the acceptance of tradition'.
4. The World's Oldest Tradition, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church
An particularly interesting place is Ethiopia. Because they have preserved the form of early Christianity very conservatively, they recognize ancient documents like the 'Book of Enoch', which have disappeared elsewhere, as part of their Bible. Thanks to this, we are able to catch a glimpse into the mysterious spiritual world of people thousands of years ago.
Concluding Thoughts
The difference in the number of books in the Bible is not because one side is wrong and the other is right, but rather a trace of history showing how each tradition has preserved the word of God.
