What passages of the Bible were deleted?
A:We will never really know how many passages were deleted from earlier versions of books in the Bible. Most instances of editorial work and redaction that scholars find from textual analysis or examination of surviving manuscripts actually involve addition of material for theological purposes, rather than the removal of material.Of course the presence of deuterocanonical books in the Catholic Bible, with a slightly different set of deuterocanonical books in the Orthodox Bible is controversial in this respect. When the early Christians were determining what books should form the Old Testament, they were unsure what books the Jews regarded as inspired, resulting in a canon that included books the Jews rejected for scriptural purposes. The Protestants removed these, as well as some additions to Daniel and additions to Esther, simply returning to the Old Testament books as supported by Judaism.
