Bible CanonA Survey of Bible Canons
Each major Christian tradition in the world has a Bible of it's own. It was a shock to me to only learn this after arriving at Bible College as a young adult, but the Protestant Bible with 66 books is not the only Bible around.
Below is a table of the most common Christian Bibles in use today. Each column holds one Bible with the shortest in the left most column and the longest in the far right column. I've included a couple traditions that should not be considered "Christan" per say, but that are formed from the same text base. In other words they aren't traditions formed around say the Koran or some writing from an entirely different religion.
