“Twasn’t Luther that “threw entire books out of the Old Testament...” He did question the canonicity of the Apocrypha (but didn’t remove those books that were actually ADDED by the Roman Church to back up extra-biblical teachings. The Apocryphal books saw opposition throughout history, including within the Catholic church (though church historians haven’t exactly always been honest about it). It wasn’t until the 1880’s that “Protestants” began printing Bibles without the Apocryphal books.

Perhaps you might find it beneficial to read, say, some history books before you pony up to that bar. Absolutely do you a world of good.

But did some newer Protestant Bibles at present time allow for those extra books?
