“SIRACH” (OR ‘ECCLESIASTICUS’)
.
.
.
*”deutero-canonical books” (literally meaning a ‘2nd canon’) is a term used since the 1500s in the ‘catholic church’ + ‘eastern christianity’ to describe certain books and passages of the ‘christian old testament’ that are not part of the ‘hebrew bible’*
.
(the term is used in contrast to the proto-canonical books, which are contained in the hebrew bible)
(this distinction had previously contributed to debate in the early church about whether they should be classified as canonical texts)
(the term is used as a matter of convenience by the ethiopian orthodox tewahedo church and other churches to refer to books of their old testament which are not part of the masoretic text)
(the deuterocanonical books are considered canonical by catholics, eastern orthodox, oriental orthodox, and the church of the east, but are considered non-canonical by most protestants)
(the word deuterocanonical comes from the greek meaning ‘belonging to the second canon’)
(the original usage of the term distinguished these scriptures both from those considered non-canonical and from those considered protocanonical)
(however, some editions of the bible include text from both deuterocanonical and non-canonical scriptures in a single section designated “apocrypha”)
(this arrangement can lead to conflation between the otherwise distinct terms “deuterocanonical” + “apocryphal”)
