The Roman Catholic term for the books it retains is "dueterocanonical", not apocrypha. The former term is more appropriate because (1) it is the terminology used by the Church and (2) apocrypha has negative connotations as it relates to the debate between the Hebrew and Greek traditions.

Apocrypha naming convention

The Roman Catholic term for the books it retains is "dueterocanonical", not apocrypha. The former term is more appropriate because (1) it is the terminology used by the Church and (2) apocrypha has negative connotations as it relates to the debate between the Hebrew and Greek traditions.

Sub-topics

I think it would be good to simplify the sub-topics in the contents box on the side. I'm thinking that these might be some good sub-topics

What do others think? What would you have as the main sub-topics? --Graham grove 14:38, 21 August 2008 (PDT)

Well, since no one has strong opinions, I've started re-arranging. --Graham grove 08:02, 30 August 2008 (PDT)
