Well I gave up on building this complex table from scratch, and copied verbatim everything from the Wikipedia equivalent at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Books_of_the_Bible. ----Tim McCully 00:09, 21 May 2007 (CDT)
- I'm not so sure WP can claim credit for the contents of this table, Tim. ;-) The intro is another matter. --Stephen Ewen 01:43, 16 --Tim McCully 03:10, 22 May 2007 (CDT)May 2007 (CDT)
- Stephen, you seem to say someone else may deserve credit for this table. What should I do about that concern? What is the next step to getting this ready for approval? I am in the process of checking the external links for function and content. --Tim McCully 03:10, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
- No one need be attributed with the table mechanics, and the book names themselves are all in the Public Domain. I'd love to see some history of how the canons were selected by the varied Judaeo-Christian branches. Stephen Ewen 01:03, 21 May 2007 (CDT)
- IMO the history of the canons belongs in a linked article. That last link to the UMC Book That Bridges Millenia site has a lot of material that could be used for such an article. Maybe that should indeed come next.--Tim McCully 03:10, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
New testament is missing. I understand that all denominations have the same books in the New testament, but this should be stated explicitly. Andries 03:56, 26 May 2007 (CDT)
- This article so far is about the books which make up the original scriptures (the Tanakh, Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament) and how they are referred to in the various denominations. I have also gotten ahead of the content by putting in some of the links at the end which include some at least partly about the New Testament. As some of the links in this article are about, there are some significant differences between denominations about what books belong in the New Testament. There is largely agreement on the books which the Protestant Bible includes I believe, but some denominations have additional books. You are therefore correct in that we need a New Testament section to make this complete of course, Thanks !--Tim McCully 20:44, 28 May 2007 (CDT)
- I've added a table about the Books of the New Testament. Very much the same as Wikipedia now has.--Tim McCully 19:29, 17 June 2007 (CDT)
Bible?
Before we talk about Books of the Bible, should we have an article on Bible first? I'm not going to write it because I'm not an expert in religion. Yi Zhe Wu 21:44, 17 June 2007 (CDT)
