A number of books are not considered to be part of the Bible by Protestant Christians, but are by other denominations - these books are referred to as [[Apocrypha|apocryphal literature]].
====Formation of the Bible / [[Biblical Canon]]====
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. By the fourth century the books included by today's Protestants in the [[Bible]] were roughly agreed upon.
Protestant Christians generally hold to [[Sola Scriptura]] which is the teaching that the Bible is the final authority on matters of faith and that it alone gives sufficient information for all matters of faith. This stands in contrast to Orthodox and Catholic Christianity which accept tradition as playing an equally important role in matters of faith.
