Bible Question: Why don't we have books in the bible like 1st and 2nd Maccabees and Daniel 13 and 14? Deuteronomy 4:2 and Deuteronomy 12:32 tells us to never add or remove anything from what God tells us, and Martin Luther took out some books, as well as wanted to take out other books such as Job. Can someone explain this to me because I really think I should go pick up a Catholic bible- even though I would remain a born-again Protestant. |
Bible Answer: Hi, snake... "Aren't you dead?" :-) Which books did Martin Luther remove from the canon? I think what you may mean is that the Council of Trent added some books to the canon. Luther discussed canonicity of several books, criticizing their inclusion, but he lacked the authority to remove them. At the Diet of Worms he said, "Unless I am convinced by Scripture and plain reason - I do not accept the authority of the popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other -- my conscience is captive to the Word of God." In the Book of Concord he reaffirmed the canon. This was later reflected in his translation of each and every one of those books into German. In Him, Doc |
