Books of the Bible was a Philosophy and religion good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article.

Based on a suggestion in Wikipedia:Pages needing attention, I have started the skeleton of a WikiProject to try to cut down on the overlap between the various presentations of the canon. I think that a lot of people working here will want input on this. Feel free! Mpolo 13:24, Sep 14, 2004 (UTC)
Though there is no distinction between Major nad Minor prophets in the Tanakh, the "N" (i.e. Neviim) are divided into two categories. Rishonim and Acharonim (Priori and Posteriori). Joshua, Judges, Samuel 1-2, Kings 1-2 are considered Neviim Rishonim, whereas the rest are considered Latter Prophets. Perhaps that ought to be included. I understand that would be hard to fit into the graph, but at least in text...
The OT list could also include lists for the Armenian Apostolic, Ethiopian and Syriac Bibles. Likewise the NT list could add the Syriac NT. There are 2 Catholic orders: Vulgate (Maccabees after Malachi) & Septuagint (Maccabees after Malachi).
I collated Jewish books in the chart. Previously the Ketuvim books were separated out from the rest of the chart and added to the bottom of the chart as a separate list. This made it appear (without close inspection and mental collation) that there was a massive difference between the Jewish Tanakh and the Christian Old Testament, which, of course, there is not. The Hebrew Bible and the Protestant Old Testament are even identical in content. This is made much more plain by the collation job done. I marked the Ketuvim books in bold, and I footnoted each one so that there would be no confusion with the Nevi'im books. I think this brings much more clarity to the chart, which before seemed rather confusing. -- Guðsþegn ( talk) 23:36, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

You stated that the order of the books of the Bible (specifically the New Testament) varies based on the denomination. This may be true, but the statement in the article that the order you have is accepted by most Protestants, Catholics, and Greek Orthodox is not. You can see the Catholic order here. Just on the bookshelf of my office, the same order is used in the NIV, NRSV, CEB, KJV, NKJV, TEV, CEV, RSV, and New Oxford Annotated Bible. All of these versions are used regularly across Protestant denominations. In fact, this is the order found in both my Greek texts: "A Reader's Greek New Testament: 2nd Edition" by Goodrich and Lukaszewski and "The Greek New Testament: 4th Revised Edition" edited by Aland et. al. Every Bible Commentary in my office, including the New Interpreter's Bible and The Interpreter's Bible has them in this order; however, to be fair, they do rely on the NIV and NRSV (former) and RSV and KJV (latter). You can also find this order in Box 1.4 on page 10 of "The New Testament (4th ed)" by Bart D. Ehrman.
I would request one of two things happen. 1) The correct order as cited above be placed in the article or 2) Both your order and the order I cited above be placed in the article with the statement that this order is the one used by most Protestant denominations as well as Roman Catholics. I have been unable to confirm that the Greek Orthodox use this order.
In the interest of learning, would you tell me which denominations use the order you have, and where this can be found? I was unable to find it in any google search.
