How misused: The video incorrectly asserts the number of books in the Orthodox canon (76 instead of 75, if counting the Deuterocanonicals often present in Orthodox Bibles as separate books, or around 66 without them, depending on how various additions are counted). It also misrepresents the Protestant adoption of the Hebrew canon as a purely '1500s choice,' ignoring the historical lineage of its acceptance by early Church Fathers like Jerome. This mischaracterizes the historical development and theological reasoning behind the canonical decisions.
Scripture's answer: The Orthodox canonical tradition includes the 39 books of the Old Testament (following the Septuagint, which includes Deuterocanonical books like Tobit, Judith, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach, Baruch, 1 & 2 Maccabees, and additions to Esther and Daniel, totaling around 10-15 extra books depending on specific enumeration) and 27 books of the New Testament. The claim of 76 books is simply incorrect. The Protestant canon aligns with the Masoretic Hebrew canon for the Old Testament, a decision rooted in the argument for *Veritas Hebraica* (Hebrew truth) championed by early Church figures such as Jerome, long before the Reformation. Protestants did not 'choose' this in the 1500s in a vacuum but reaffirmed a historical scholarly tradition that distinguished between protocanonical and deuterocanonical books.
