**An example of this would be the Roman Catholic canon, which contains seven more Old Testament books than the Protestant canon. The books of Tobit, Judith, First and Second Maccabbees, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach, Baruch, as well as small portions of Esther and Daniel, are found in the Catholic Old Testament. **

Repeating this point.

If you want to learn more about the New Testament canon, read this essay by J. P. Holding:

Read these four 'building blocks' for a basis of understanding:

  1. - Inspiration
  2. - The Rule of Faith
  3. - Apostolic Authority
  4. - Church Usage
