'''Books of the Bible''' are listed differently in the canons of [[Jew]]s, and [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic]], [[Protestantism|Protestant]], Greek Orthodox, Slavonic Orthodox, Georgian, Armenian Apostolic, Syriac and Ethiopian Churches, although there is substantial overlap. A table comparing the canons of some of these denominations appears below, for both the [[Old Testament]] and the [[New Testament]]. For a detailed discussion of the differences, see "[[Biblical canon]]".
The Eastern Orthodox, [[Oriental Orthodox]], and [[Eastern Catholic]] churches may have minor differences in their lists of accepted books. The list given here for these churches is the most inclusive: if at least one Eastern church accepts the book, it is included here. The books included by the Roman Catholic Church are universally included in the Eastern canons.
==Tanakh or Old Testament==
A table cell with an asterisk (*) indicates that a book is present but in a different order. Empty cells indicate that a book is absent from that canon; such books are often called ''[[Biblical apocrypha|apocrypha]]'', a term that is sometimes used specifically (and possibly pejoratively) to describe the books in the Catholic and Orthodox canon that are absent from the Protestant Bible; Orthodox and Catholic Christians describe these books as ''[[deuterocanonical books|deuterocanonical]]'', meaning second canon.

The [[Ethiopian Orthodox Church]] has a few additional books in its canon: [[Jubilees]], [[Book of Enoch]], and the Rest of the Words of Baruch (4 Baruch).
The [[Peshitta]] excludes 2-3 John, 2 Peter, Jude, and Revelation, but Bibles of the modern [[Syriac Orthodox Church]] include later translations of those books along with the Letter of Baruch. Still today the official lectionary followed by the Syrian Orthodox Church (with headquarters at Kottayam (Kerala), and the Chaldean Syriac Church, also known as the Church of the East (Nestorian), with headquarters at Trichur (Kerala)) presents lessons from only the twenty-two books of Peshitta, the version to which appeal is made for the settlement of doctrinal questions.
