Answer/Explanation: Catholic Bibles contain the following books that Protestant Bibles do not:

  • Tobit
  • Judith
  • 1 & 2 Maccabees
  • Wisdom
  • Sirach (or Ecclesiasticus)
  • Baruch

This results in 46 Old Testament books in Catholic Bibles and 39 Old Testament books in Protestant Bibles. In addition, Catholic Bibles include some parts of the Books of Esther and Daniel that Protestant Bibles do not.  The differences in canonical books go back to the Reformation. Up until the Reformation, all Christians used the version of the Old Testament that Catholics use today.

Another version of the Old Testament was in the Hebrew language, and that version corresponds to what Protestants use today. It is worth noting that in the earliest days of the Church, there was no general or authoritative agreement about which books were canonical.

Hope this helped you at all!

Answer:The most noticeable differences occur in the number of books included and the order in which they have been arranged. Both the Jewish Bible and the Hebrew canon in a Protestant Bible (aka Old Testament) contain 39 books, whereas a Catholic Bible contains 46 books in the Old Testament. In addition, the Greek Orthodox, or Eastern Orthodox, Church accepts a few more books as canonized scripture.  To give you a quick overview of a complicated subject, here's what happened: Several hundred years before the birth of Christ, Babylonian conquerors forced the Jews to leave Jerusalem. Away from their Temple and, often, from their priests, the exiled people forgot how to read, write, and speak Hebrew. After a while, Jewish scholars wanted to make the Bible accessible again, so they translated Hebrew scriptures into the Greek language commonly spoken. Books of wisdom and histories about the period were added, too, eventually becoming so well known that Jesus and the earliest Christian writers were familiar with them. Like the original Hebrew scriptures, the Greek texts, which were known as the Septuagint, were not in a codex or book form as we're accustomed to now but were handwritten on leather or parchment scrolls and rolled up for ease in storage.
