Well, the Jews rejected the Septuagint because it was used by the Christians complete with the canon.

Protestants rejected Maccabees, etc. because they disagreed with their theology. Why not throw out James or Revelation while you are at it?

Luther did in his German bible. All of the early Christians believed in the canonicity of the books of the Maccabees, Tobit, Judith, etc.

Luther tried to throw out St. James, calling it an “epistle of straw”. I wonder what the good protestants on here think about that.
