deuterocanonical
Later-accepted scriptural texts
Deuterocanonical describes biblical books accepted as scripture by Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches but excluded from the Protestant and Jewish canons.
These texts—including Tobit, Judith, and portions of Daniel—appear in the Septuagint but not in the Hebrew Bible.
Protestants often call them the Apocrypha.
The deuterocanonical books remain a point of ecumenical discussion.
