Table of books of Judeo-Christian Scripture

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Below is a table of books of Jewish Tanakh and Christian Scripture, organized by the Jewish use and Christian churches who hold these books to be sacred (Christian Scriptures divide the books Samuel, Kings and Chronicles, the Jewish Scriptures do not, and consider them as a single book).

[edit] Notes on Baruch

Baruch is 6 chapters in the Catholic tradition where chapter 6 is the Letter of Jeremiah. The Orthodox tradition is to have Baruch with 5 chapters and the Letter of Jeremiah as a separate book. In Syriac Bibles (not listed here) Baruch is called 1 baruch because they also have 2 Baruch.
