The protocanonical and deuterocanonical books

	The [[Roman Catholic]], [[Oriental Orthodox]] and [[Eastern Orthodox Church\|Eastern Orthodox]] include books excluded by Judaism and later by [[Martin Luther]], called the [[deuterocanonical books]], which Protestants exclude as [[Biblical apocrypha]]. The basis for these books is found in the early [[Koine Greek]] [[Septuagint]] translation of the Hebrew Bible. This translation was widely used by the [[Early Christians]] and is the one most often quoted (300 of 350 quotations including many of Jesus' own words) in the [[New Testament]] when it quotes the Old Testament.

	According to J. N. D. Kelly, "It should be observed that the Old Testament thus admitted as authoritative in the Church… always included, though with varying degrees of recognition, the so-called Apocrypha or deuterocanonical books."<~~ref~~>~~{{cite book \|first=J.

Kelly, "It should be observed that the Old Testament thus admitted as authoritative in the Church… always included, though with varying degrees of recognition, the so-called Apocrypha or deuterocanonical books."<sup>[]</sup>

	The traditional explanation of the development of the Old Testament canon describes two sets of Old Testament books, the [[protocanonical books\|protocanonical]] and the [[deuterocanonical books]]. According to this theory, certain [[Church fathers]] accepted the inclusion of the apocryphal books based on their inclusion in the Septuagint (most notably [[Augustine of Hippo\|Augustine]]), while others disputed their status (most notably [[Jerome]]). Michael Barber argues that this time-honored reconstruction is grossly inaccurate and that "the case against the apocrypha is overstated".<~~ref name=Barber~~>{{cite web \|first= Michael \|last=Barber \|url=http://singinginthereign.blogspot.com/2006/03/loose-canons-development-of-old_06.html \|title=Loose Canons: The Development of the Old Testament (Part 2) \|date=2006-03-04 \|accessdate=2007-08-01}}</~~ref~~>		The traditional explanation of the development of the Old Testament canon describes two sets of Old Testament books, the [[protocanonical books\|protocanonical]] and the [[deuterocanonical books]].
