Summary

Ever wonder why Catholic Bibles are bigger than Protestant Bibles?

In this new episode of Pints with Aquinas, I interview a genuine expert on the history of the canon of Scripture, Gary Michuta. We talk about issues like:

• What is the “Deuterocanon” and why do Protestants call it “apocrypha”

• How did Martin Luther justify removing seven books from the Old Testament

• Why St. Jerome rejected the Deuterocanon (and why you shouldn’t)

• What impact did the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls have on this question of the canon of Scripture? • Are there any New Testament “proofs” for the Deuterocanon

0:00.0	Hey there, welcome to Pints with Aquinas. My name is Matt Frad, and today I will be joined around the bar table by Gary Matuto, who wrote a book called Why Catholic Bibles Are Bigger?
0:11.6	Have you ever wondered that? Why are Catholic Bibles bigger? Why do they have 73 books, whereas the Protestant Bible only has 66 books?
0:18.6	Perhaps we could ask it a different way, why are Protestant Bible smaller?
0:22.0	If you've ever wondered that, if you've wanted to know how to respond to those who object to the
0:26.0	fact that Catholics have more books than the Protestant Bible, this is the show for you.
0:31.4	Gary Matura is a nationally known Catholic speaker, author and apologist. As I say, let me show you
0:37.4	this book so you can get it for yourself.
0:38.9	Why Catholic Bibles are bigger. You can get it on Amazon, but I like to support Catholic
0:44.3	Answers or Catholic Bookstores whenever I can. So I'll put a link down to the Catholic Answers
0:48.8	shop to get this book, which I think after today's episode, you're going to want to buy.
0:54.9	So he's wrote numerous books.
0:57.0	He's done debates on this topic with Protestant apologists like James White.
1:01.8	Super, super cool dude.
1:03.3	So you're going to really enjoy today's show, I think.
1:05.7	Before we jump into the show, though, I want to say thank you to our sponsor, Hello.
1:09.3	You've heard me talk about a bunch. I don't know if you've downloaded the app ever since you've heard me talk about it,
1:13.0	but I really do mean it. It's an excellent app. It's a Catholic meditation app to help you find
1:18.7	peace and grow in your spiritual journey. Look how beautiful it is. I am always impressed when a Catholic
1:26.1	company puts out beautiful content, and that's
1:29.0	what Hallow do. They're 100% Catholic, and it's just a very sophisticated looking app.
1:35.3	So go to hallo.com, h-a-l-l-O-W.com. You can download the app right now. They have a whole
1:42.0	free version with content that's updated every day, but you can also pay to get access to everything that they have. But if you want to try everything that they have for free and decide if you want that kind of package, go to hallo.com, sign up for free, use the link below. And you can just use Matt Frad as the promo code and that'll get you in for a month for free. You can try everything out before deciding to use or not. Really awesome app. Hello.com. All right.
