→Formation of the Bible / Biblical Canon: Yet another mistake (my preview hasn't been working so sorry about making so many edits just for my own mistakes)
Though the Early Church used the Old Testament, the apostles did not otherwise leave a defined set of new scriptures; instead the New Testament developed over time. All New Testament scripture was wrote during the first century AD. By the fourth century the books included by today's Protestants in the [[Bible]] were roughly agreed upon and officially in 382 AD, the [[Council of Rome]] was held which canonized the Bible as having 66 total books: 39 in the Old Testament (which the Jews agreed upon in the 4th century BC), and 27 in the New Testament.
The dispute over the Old Testament would wage on for over a millennia and the Catholic Church agreed at the end of the [[Council of Trent]] in 1563 that the Old Testament would be comprised of 46 books with some books being added onto. The books officially added included the following: [[Book of Tobit|Tobit]], [[Book of Judith|Judith]], [[First book of Maccabees|1 Maccabees]], [[Second book of Maccabees|2 Maccabees]], [[Wisdom of Solomon|Wisdom]], [[Book of Sirach|Sirach]], and [[Book of Baruch|Baruch]]; and the books altered are [[Book of Esther|Esther]] ([[Additions to Esther|additions]]) and [[Book of Daniel|Daniel]] ([[Additions to Daniel|additions]]). The controversial decision at Trent birthed the [[Protestant Reformation]] which did not and still doesn't recognize the decision made during the Council of Trent.
