CanonCanon (greek κανών — lit. the straight pole is any measure that determines the direct direction: spirit level, ruler, square) A set of requirements for books to be included in Bible. The books themselves are called canonical. To date, Bible is completed, the canon is finally adopted, books can not be added.
It is important to note that there is no discrepancy among Christian denominations regarding the canon of Bible. There is also no discrepancy regarding the Old Testament among the Jews with Christians.
There may be a difference in the order of the books or the title. In the Jewish holy scripture, there are fewer books just because some books are united, for example, the 1st and 2nd books of kingdoms are the book of kings, the 3rd and 4th books of kingdoms are the book of annals. But the psalter in the original was broken up into 5 books, because it did not fit in 1 scroll.
![]() There are many translations, some of them are accepted by the church, unsuccessful translations are not accepted by the church. There are translations that are accepted by one denomination and rejected by another. Today in Russia is the generally accepted confession - synodal translation. Apocrypha is included in some Bibles, for example, in the Russian Orthodox Bible. But they are included, as apocrypha, as additional literature. |
