The Canons

“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness...”2 Timothy 3:16

This reference seeks to describe faithfully what each tradition itself receives — not to judge between them. It is a living document, maintained with care and open to correction.

Last reviewed 1 July 2026

Where traditions differ, remember what we hold in common.

Jesus prayed that we might be one — visit That They May Be One.

Understanding Canonical Status

Canonical

Universally accepted as divinely inspired Scripture.

Deuterocanonical

Accepted by Catholic tradition as part of the second canon.

Anagignoskomena

Orthodox designation meaning “worthy to be read” in liturgy.

Apocryphal

Considered historically valuable but not divinely inspired.

The Oriental Orthodoxcolumn represents the Coptic, Syriac and Armenian churches, whose canons closely follow the wider Septuagint tradition; details vary from church to church. Book counts follow each tradition’s own reckoning — the Ethiopian “81 books” is a traditional number that different lists itemise in different ways.
