“can you name anyone using a 66 book bible prior to 16th century?”

Well, the Protestants of the 16th century weren’t using a “66 book bible” either, so what does that prove?

“when Calvin and Luther first picked up a Bible, how many books were in the Bible they were reading?”

Well, that depends on which version of the Bible they picked up. You do know that there were multiple versions, even before the Protestants came along, don’t you?

>> Apocrypha Books

The apocrypha is a selection of books which were published in the original 1611 King James Bible. These apocryphal books were positioned between the Old and New Testament (it also contained maps and geneologies). The apocrypha was a part of the KJV for 274 years until being removed in 1885 A.D. A portion of these books were called deuterocanonical books by some entities, such as the Catholic church.<<
