none. they were included in some Bibles along with old testament books, but most current Bibles no longer have them. The Catholic Bible does still contain the aprocyphal books
Catholic bibles and Protestant bibles contain the same 27 books in the New Testament.
The Apocrypha. Check it out in Wikipedia
There are 39 books or 46 books in the Old Testament scripture depending on which Biblical canon you accept. The Protestant Bibles have 39 books and the Catholic Bibles have 46 which include an additional 7 Apocrypha or Deuterocanonical books.Rabbinic Judaism recognizes 24 books of the Tanakh or Hebrew Bible, which are the core books accepted in the Old Testament of Christian Bibles. The Hebrew Bible combines several books into a single book (e.g. 12 minor prophet books were originally grouped as a single book) so this accounts for some of the discrepancy in the count for number of books.New Testament cannon is 27 books in both Protestant and Catholic Bibles.
The Greek canon added 8 books to the Old Testament canon. These books, known as the Deuterocanonical books, are not present in the Hebrew Bible but are included in the Greek Septuagint and Catholic Bibles.
Hebrew Bibles contain 24 books divided into 3 parts: The Torah, The Prohets, and the Writings. Christian Bibles contain 66 books, divided into 2 parts: The Old Testament (39 books) and the New Testament (27 books) (Christians subdivide many books that Jews do not subdivide).

The 24 books of the Hebrew Bible are the same as the 39 books of the Protestant Old Testament, only divided and ordered differently: the books of the Minor Prophets are in Christian Bibles twelve different books, and in Hebrew Bibles, one book called "The Twelve".
The books of the Old Testament. Catholic Bibles include passages, and even whole books, added by later Greek authors, which were purged from Jewish Bibles. Protestants followed the Jewish example, and purged the same material.
Roman Catholic AnswerFunny thing about that, the Catholic Church wrote and approved the Bible, all approved Bibles are "Catholic Bibles". Without the Catholic Church there would be no Bible today. The only non-Catholic Bibles are protestant Bibles, and the only difference in them, is that they have removed some books from the Old Testament with which they did not agree. So, to answer your question, of course the Bible includes the book of Leviticus.
