Yo, Rube! What about gemara? Gonna tell me tomarra? :-) --208.246.35.242
Kaynahara! I ma just glad that you could fix up my admittedly sloppy attempt to fix up something that really needed it!
I thank everyone who has added to this article. As is often the case, no one person could write it by himself.
However, at the moment I'm primarily interested in the names as opposed to the contents of all the various canons, testaments, groupings of books and books. So I'm planning on trimming as much as possible from the article and moving it to a linked article. So if Torah means teaching, the user can click on Torah and find Torah ("teaching") is, etc. But here I just want a place to keep all the terminology straight.
The Books of the Bible article is for more in-depth info. What does it all mean? Why is it important? And so on. The weightier issues of the contents of these books can go elsewhere; here is just to keep track of the names of them all. Okay? --Ed Poor 18:18 Oct 31, 2002 (UTC)
"the deuterocanonical books or sometimes as the apocrypha, as a part of the Old Testament. They are not accepted as canonical by Protestants and were eventually accepted by Jews as part of the Tanach (although some ancient Jews appear to have accepted them)."
Do Jews accept the apocrypha or not? Strange sentence. Also why isn't Tanach defined on the page? Rmhermen 21:09, Mar 4, 2004 (UTC)
Doesn't this article just repeat material in other articles? What is the specific function? I know I myself added material a long time ago, after Ed Poor wrote the original stub. But there have been many more detailed articles written since then -- maybe we no longer need this? Slrubenstein

Names for books of Judeo-Christian scripture → Names for books of Jewish and Christian scripture – article covers books that are not just common to both religions (i.e., Judeo-Christian) but also ones that are specifically Jewish or specifically Christian. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 23:41, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Names for books of Jewish and Christian scripture → Names for Jewish and Christian holy books – This is a worthwhile article, but IMHO its current title is misleading. I expected "Names for books of Jewish and Christian scripture" to list the Jewish and Christian names for books of the Bible. Instead, it lists divisions within the Bible, and the more authoritative of the other Jewish types of holy books. I believe that in both religions "scripture" is only used for the Bible. "Sifrei Kodesh" is a wider category used in Judaism, literally meaning "holy books", although this does have a wider scope than the current content of the nominated article. – Fayenatic London 14:51, 1 July 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.
