My husband was asking me questions tonight about the differences between the protestant and catholic cannons (his family are quakers, so he's still shocked at the idea of inerrantists and other forms of stupidity practiced by american fundamentalists). I pointed him at some links and texts on the early christian church and the early formation of cannon, but I can't find any of my Reformation-era links. They may have gotten lost when I moved from one computer to another. I don't have a copy of a catholic bible around here to even show George the differences. I have a KJV around here because my grandmother gave it to me. I've had other things to spend money on than copies of a holy text for a religion neither of us believes in...

Anyway, he knows the basics of the Reformation, as his family were cousins of Elizabeth I's during that era. What I'm looking for is something that as a start, talks about the differences between the catholic and protestant bibles, and something that *explains* the Apocrypha. Peter Kirby's website is great and all, but he only includes the texts, not explanations. Though now George wants to read Enoch simply because it sounds so incredibly weird.
