	What are the Deuterocanonical Books?
		Jerome also counseled that the "deuterocanonical" Old Testament, that is, those books not available in Hebrew or not considered canonical by the Jews, were OK as models of faith and conduct, but should not be used to establish doctrine.
		However, Protestants typically lump the Deuterocanonical Old Testament with truly noncanonical books, as "Old Testament Apocrypha." All of the books in the "Apocrypha" sections of Protestant bibles are accepted as canonical by at least one Christian body dating from before the Reformation.
		Minor revisions were made to this document (the addition of material to the footnotes and the updating of certain references to reflect established practice) in 2002.

		In a previous essay " 'Aporcypha' or Deuterocanonicals?" (May 7, 2003), I set forth the Catholic view that the deuterocanonical books of the Old Testaments in Catholic and Eastern Orthodox bibles (called the "apocrypha" by many Protestants) were part of the Scriptures used by the early Christians.
		It is ironic that today's Protestants who continue to reject the deuterocanonical books may be doing so on the basis of an Old Testament canon devised by Jews in 90 A.D. for the purpose of emphasizing the differences between Judaism and Christianity in order to blunt the spread of Christianity among Jews.
		Of the deuterocanonical books found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, Sirach is found in Hebrew, the Epistle of Jeremiah (Baruch 6) is found in Greek (although the editors state that it was "likely composed in Hebrew"), and Tobit is found in the Semitic languages of Aramaic and Hebrew (see DSC, pp.

	Defending the Deuterocanonicals

		Third, by rejecting the deuterocanonicals, Javneh rejected books which had been used by Jesus and the apostles and which were in the edition of the Bible that the apostles used in everyday life -- the Septuagint.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Canon of the Old Testament
		The deuterocanonical ( deuteros, "second") are those whose Scriptural character was contested in some quarters, but which long ago gained a secure footing in the Bible of the Catholic Church, though those of the Old Testament are classed by Protestants as the "Apocrypha".
		The sub-Apostolic writings of Clement, Polycarp, the author of the Epistle of Barnabas, of the pseudo-Clementine homilies, and the "Shepherd" of Hermas, contain implicit quotations from or allusions to all the deuterocanonicals except Baruch (which anciently was often united with Jeremias) and I Machabess and the additions to David.
		Nevertheless Origen employs all the deuterocanonicals as Divine Scriptures, and in his letter of Julius Africanus defends the sacredness of Tobias, Judith, and the fragments of Daniel, at the same time implicitly asserting the autonomy of the Church in fixing the Canon (see references in Cornely).

		The Church Councils at Hippo (393) and Carthage (397, 419), influenced heavily by St. Augustine, listed the deuterocanonical books as Scripture, which was simply an endorsement of what had become the general consensus of the Church in the west and most of the east.
		Despite this lowering of the status of the deuterocanonical books by Protestantism, they were still widely retained separately in Protestant Bibles for a long period of time (unlike the prevailing practice today).

	INTRODUCTION TO THE APOCRYPHA, NRSV BIBLE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		"Deuterocanonical," along with it coordinate term "protocanonical," is used in Roman Catholic tradition to describe the status of the two groups of books of the Old Testament.
		The "protocanon" consists of the books of the Hebrew Bible and the "deuterocanon" of the books whose inspiration came to be recognized later, after the matter had been discussed among some theologians and local churches.
		Thus, although the terms "Deuterocanonical" and "Apocryphal" can describe the same collection of writings, they clearly indicated the difference in the status of the writings among different groups.

		In the 16th century, when the Reformation came along, the first Protestants, finally able to read their Bibles without ecclesial propaganda from Rome, noticed that the Jewish and Catholic Old Testaments differed, recognized this medieval addition for what it was and scraped it off the Word of God like so many barnacles off a diamond.
		This was precisely why the Sadducees argued with Jesus against the reality of the resurrection in Matthew 22:23-33: they couldn't see it in the five books of Moses and they did not regard the later books of Scripture which spoke of it explicitly (such as Isaiah and 2 Maccabees) to be inspired and canonical.
		That, and that alone, is the basis for the myth that the deuterocanon (all seven books and not just these two) "denies that it is inspired Scripture." Several things can be said in response to this argument.
