  There are four Canons of Scripture: The Jewish, Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant/Reformed Canon:

· The Jewish Canon focuses on the Law in the first five books of the Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy), The Prophets, and Old Testament writings.

· The Orthodox Canon has everything that is in the Catholic Canon but has a bit more. It is in consideration of what is considered canonical. The Orthodox Canon focuses on the difference of Divine Revelation and Canonical.

· The Protestant/Reformed Canon of Scripture goes to the Protestant Reformation of 1517 and the divorce request of King Henry the 8th, most notably the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible.
 
· The Catholic Canon of Scripture includes scripture that is not found in the Protestant/Reformed Canon. The Catholic Canon of Scripture includes what is found in the Jewish Canon of Scripture as, historically, Jesus was Jewish himself.
