A conversation I have been having on another website got me to thinking about the different canons in use today and how they evolved.
The essential question that came to my mind is which Bible canon is the Smallest?
Is it the Protestant? or are their other canons smaller than this?

Maybe I am thinking too simplistically but am curious to learn a bit on this.

Probably the smallest canon effectively is some of the hyperdispensationalists who don’t believe anything before mid Acts really has anything to do with Christians. They probably wouldn’t really put it in terms of canon but effectively they only follow an abbreviated New Testament canon.

**The Catholic Church in the West has based its Old Testament canon on the Septuagint. That means that there are books contained therein that protestants reject, although most protestant bibles contain these same writings at the end and call it “Apocrapha.” Protestants base their Old Testament from 90 AD.

The New Testament is the same for both.**
