"I the Greek Church never added them: it used them all along."

Do you include the books of Esdras and Manasseh?

Whe I was at seminary in Denver one of the fellows I studied with was Brad Nassif. A great mind and terrific believer. Have you heard of Him?

"Bradley Nassif has been a courageous and enthusiastic pioneer of Orthodox-evangelical dialogue around the world.

All Orthodox include Esdras (Ezra), some include 1 Esdras and only Russian (and non-Chaledonian Ethiopian Orthodox) include 2 Esdras.

Likewise, some (the Church in Jersualem for sure) include the Prayer of Manasseh, but the Greek editions don't. I would be curious to find out what books are used on Mt. Athos.

I have never heard of Dr. Bradly Nassif. He certainly seems to have an impressive educational background in theology.
