Christians still disagree over the content of the Old Testament

The Protestant Old Testament is identical to the Hebrew Bible, though the books are arranged and divided differently.

Roman Catholics since 1546 (the Council of Trent) have officially included the “deutero-canonical” or “apocryphal” books. These books were included in early editions of the King James Bible, but Protestants have not considered them authoritative because they are not found in the Hebrew Bible.
