The Protestant canon of 66 books was originally formulated by [[Martin Luther]], who removed several books and texts from the Old Testament [[tradition]]ally included among the 73 books of the Bible as read by the Catholic Church and separated them as "apocryphal". Some editions of the Protestant Bible feature them in a section between the Old and New Testaments as '''The Apocrypha''' (Greek, plural, "apocrypha", singular "apocryphon"). He cited the rabbinical authority of the Jews who have rejected these books as having no place in the Hebrew canon. The same rabbinical authority also rejected all of the Christian writings.
