You might think all Bibles are basically the same. Think again.
What if I told you there are entire books in the Catholic Bible editions that aren’t in your Bible—and that Catholics believe these are Scripture? And what if I told you those extra books could be used in debates to challenge your beliefs?
That’s not something you want to be unprepared for.
Whether you’re a seasoned believer or just getting serious about Bible study, understanding what’s inside a Catholic Bible—and what’s not—isn’t just trivia. It’s crucial for defending your faith.
Sure, Catholic Bibles aren’t the best choice for Bible study. Why? Because they include additional texts—like Tobit, Judith, and Sirach—that were never part of the inspired Word of God. But here’s the thing: you need to know what’s in them so you can explain why you don’t accept them—and how the true canon of Scripture was preserved.
So before you get caught off guard in a conversation, take five minutes to equip yourself with what every Christian should know.
