**So some/many Protestant Bibles now have the books added back in? I didn't know that. Are they in common use, I wonder?**

I doubt that they are in common use.

Would some Protestants like to weigh in here?

I am a Pentecostal, so of a different flavor altogether in many ways. I use "standard" Protestant Bibles in my daily reading, but also have a Catholic Bible. Except for the Apocryphal books, I have seen very little difference in the Catholic Bible and the NIV, KJV, NKJV, NAS, etc.

Having been both Presbyterian and Episcopalian, the Episcopal church is the only one that uses the Apocrypha. They very clearly delineate it and it is placed at the end of the Old Testament. I didn't even know what the "Apocrypha" was when I was a Presbyterian!

By the way, here is something interesting I ran across the other day:

Genesis 2:8
"And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed." KJV
"And the Lord God had planted a paradise of pleasure from the beginning: wherein he placed man whom he had formed." Douay-Rheims

"Garden in Eden" = "Paradise of Pleasure." I think I like "Paradise of Pleasure" better. It really describes what the Garden was.
