Catholics/CATHOLIC BIBLE

Question
I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE CATHOLIC BIBLE DOES NOT INCLUDE    REVELATION NOR EITHER ESTHER OR RUTH. IS THIS TRUE?
THANK YOU.

Answer
Dear Pat:

No, it is not true. The Catholic Bible does contain the books that you mentioned. However, the Protestant Bible is missing seven Old Testament books which are Tobit, Judith,Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, and I & II Maccabees.

Thanks for the question. If I can be of any further help please let me know.

God Bless You,
Sal

Expertise

I love the Catholic Church and her book, the Bible. I will try to answer your questions with an emphasis on God*s Word. I believe the Catholic Church is the Church established by Jesus Christ for the salvation of the world. I can answer questions pertaining to the biblical basis for Catholic beliefs. I can also explain the beliefs of Jehovah*s Witnesses, Mormons, and Seventh Day Adventists as related to Catholic doctrine.

Experience

I have studied the Catholic faith for twenty years. I have conducted adult education classes in the teachings of the Catholic Church. I have taught teenagers the Catholic faith. I have taught Bible Study.
