The three major Christian Confessions today accept a different number of books from the Old Testament, but they share a common element in their canons: the classification system of the books according to the nature of the biblical works.
Thus, the books are classified according to their character into three groups: "Historical," "Poetical-Teaching," and "Prophetic."
The tradition of the Orthodox Church accepts as "canonical" (books that belong to the canon), in addition to the 39 books of the Jewish Bible (which are, however, titled according to the Septuagint), 10 additional books (1 Esdras, Tobit, Judith, 1-2-3 Maccabees, Wisdom of Solomon, Wisdom of Sirach, Baruch, and Letter of Jeremiah).
The Roman Catholic Church followed a similar practice, ultimately accepting 46 books, which it distinguishes into "proto-canonical" and "deuterocanonical."
Finally, the Churches that emerged from the Reformation accepted the canon of the Jewish Bible with the 39 books.
