==Notes==

The King James Bible was first published in 1611, as a standard English Bible to be used in the services of the [[Church of England|Church of England]] according to the [[Book of Common Prayer|Book of Common Prayer]]. It gradually supplanted all other English Bible versions, to become by the 19th century, the standard Bible text for English-speaking [[w:Protestantism|Protestants]] whether inside or outside the [[Anglicanism|Anglican]] tradition. Almost all printings since the late 18th century have used this Oxford Standard text of 1769, which radically updates and standardises the spelling and printing of the original edition.

The Inter-Testament books are not now recognized as [[Canonical|canonical]] by many [[Protestantism|Protestant]] and Para-Protestant Christian religious groups, which consider and call them "the [[Biblical apocrypha|Apocrypha]]". Nevertheless, they are recognized as a constituent part of the [[Biblical canon|Biblical canon]] by the [[w:Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholic Church]], the [[w:Eastern Orthodox Church|Orthodox Christian Churches]], and the [[w:Oriental Orthodox Church|Oriental Christian Churches]], which consider and call most of them "the [[deuterocanonical books|deuterocanonical books]]"; meaning "the books from the second canon". (The Catholic defintion of deuterocanonical books excludes the two books of Esdras and the Prayer of Manasses.) The [[Church of England|Church of England]] and other churches in the [[Anglican|Anglican]] tradition continue to specify readings from the Inter-Testament books in their [[lectionary|lectionaries]]; and hence bibles printed for use during worship in these churches must necessarily include these books.

These books came from the Greek version of the Old Testament called the [[Septuagint|Septuagint]], the sacred text collection used by Greek-speaking Jewish communities, and by most of early and historical Christianity. They are included in the King James Bible, and all other vernacular versions of the Reformation era, but their canonical status was increasingly questioned by various Protestant traditions from the late 17th Century onwards. Since the early-19th century, the Inter-Testament books have tended to be rejected by Protestant churches, and most editions of the King James bible printed for personal use since then have omitted them. Israelite communities used the Greek Septuagint until about the 2nd century AD, but [[w:Orthodox Judaism|Orthodox Judaism]] does not recognize either the Inter-Testament books or the entire New Testament as part of its own sacred text collection, which is known as the [[Tanakh|Tanakh]].
