Here’s a link that may be of help. The Biblios site is clearly unfriendly to Catholic and Orthodox. They have rashly lumped Catholic and Orthodox sacred scripture together with other writings that were long ago declared, but proper Church authority, to be non-scriptural. But, if you can convince them, good on ya’

I’m not seeing any books in their list of Deuterocanonicals that are not in the Catholic Bible (although several are listed as separate that we include as parts of Daniel or Baruch) Am I missing something?

OTOH, it does seem very odd that they don’t include the D-R as one of the parallel texts since they do include it in their main section. Maybe this is under construction?

The problem, as I see it, is that they have lumped declared apocryphal writings together which what the Church (that compiled the bible) has declared to be sacred scripture. There must be a better site to use, such as… Or, perhaps I don’t know exactly what the OP is looking for.:confused:

From the Biblos website:

Tobit - canonical
Judith - canonical
Esther (Greek) - canonical
Wisdom of Solomon - canonical
Ecclesiasticus (Sira) - canonical
Baruch - canonical
Epistle of Jeremiah - canonical (Baruch chapter 6)
Prayer of Azariah - canonical (Dan. 3:24-90)
Susanna - canonical (Dan chapter 13)
Bel and the Dragon - canonical (Dan. chapter 14)
1 Maccabees - canonical
2 Maccabees - canonical
1 Esdras - non-canonical RC (but included in Latin Vulgate), canonical EO
2 Esdras - non-canonical RC, canonical EO
Prayer of Manasse - non-canonical RC (but included in Latin Vulgate), canonical EO

So they are calling them apocrypha, which is a word we use for a different set of books. But they haven’t included here things that we would consider apocrypha. This list does not include any of the books listed as apocryphal in the Decretum Gelasianum:

the Itinerary in the name of Peter the apostle, which is called the nine books of the holy Clement

all amulets which are compiled not in the name of the angels as they pretend but are written in the names of great demons

I do like the DR/Latin/KJV parallel on the latinvulgate site. Good resource. And I am sorry that the Biblos site does not include the “see the Greek” feature in their “apocrypha” section that they do in the “Parallel Bible” section - it is SO HELPFUL.

That was my main objection - simply that Biblios relies on the reformers’ opinion of what is canonical and what is not. The term “Apocrypha”, when used to describe the Deuterocanon, is used in a pejorative sense, which has the effect of casting aspersion upon the Catholic Church.
 
To my knowledge there is no catholic online paralell bible in that format on those books.

Their sister site bible.cc/ seems to do a fair job on rest of the OT and NT books, so I am simply thinking they should be encouraged to add more translations to improve the paralells of those books too – good point about not including Douay yet.

Are you all aware of any catholic paralell bible sites? that uses their format of phrase by phrase or verse by verse?
 
Also, if more catholic bibles like the NAB and Christian Community could be added to one site, maybe it can be added to the other site too, thus improving both sites.
