"Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox have different bibles. What is the reason for the differing canon list? Is there good justification for the rejection of these extra books of the Old Testament that have been accepted by the Early Church for centuries? The Orthodox Church recognizes these extra books as anagignoskomena (known as the Readables).
