Roman Catholic and Protestant Bibles Compared - The Gould Prize Essays #261689

The great difference between the versions is the presence in the Roman Catholic Bible of the Apoc rypha. The collection of books so named is rejected by Protestants as uncanonical. The American Re vised Version does not even allude to the existence of the Apocrypha. Compared with this difference between the two versions all other differences are insignificant. Whatever may be the merits or the defects of expression in either, and however impor tant may be the correction of textual errors by devout and enlightened scholarship, both versions contain the same and the complete message of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
