The Protestant canon of 66 books was originally formulated by [[Martin Luther]], the [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] definitive final canon of 73 books was retained "as read by the Church" by the [[Council of Trent]]. This canon was listed by the [[Council of Chalcedon|Fourth Council of Chalcedon (451)]]. The Catholic Bible includes 27 books of the New Testament and 46 books "with all their parts" from the ancient [[Septuagint]] as used by the apostles and the early Christian church and included in [[Jerome]]'s [[Vulgate]] translation as part of the [[Old Testament]] and accepts those books as scripture. For some time the [[King James Bible]] contained those books deemed as apocryphal books in a separate section, between the Old Testament and the New Testament. The [[Episcopal Church]] includes the books of the Apocrypha in the cycle of scripture readings in its services, but holds that the apocryphal books are useful for study and [[edification]], but not for doctrine. Most Protestant churches do not use the Apocrypha as scripture at all.
