I’m not sure how to pose this question. I guess I need to start by understanding how and why the difference in Bibles came about. Protestants say we “added” the extra books; Catholics say the Protestants removed them. I notice that the books in questions are relatively new compared to the balance of Old Testament. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe Ecclesiastes is the only other OT book that is fairly “new” (300 BC) besides the 7 (?) other books that are considered “Catholic”. Several of these were written around first century BC. If they are so new, who, when, why were they added? How did this come about? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
