For your future reference, here are the books in order. (Oh, yes, in Douay, his citation of 4 Kings is correct.) Douay-Rheims New American Bible ___________________________________________________ Genesis Genesis Exodus Exodus Leviticus Leviticus Numbers Numbers Deuteronomy Deuteronomy Josue Joshua Judges Judges Ruth Ruth 1 Kings 1 Samuel 2 Kings 2 Samuel 3 Kings 1 Kings 4 Kings 2 Kings 1 Paralipomenon 1 Chronicles 2 Paralipomenon 2 Chronicles 1 Esdras Ezra 2 Esdras, Nehemiah alias Nehemiah Tobias Tobit Judith Judith Esther Esther Here, the order differs; in Douay, Machabees (Maccabees) is located after Malachis (Malachi). But I'll keep them matched up. The order is the same otherwise. 1 Machabees 1 Maccabees 2 Machabees 2 Maccabees Job Job Psalms Psalms Proverbs Proverbs Ecclesiastes Ecclesiastes Canticle of Canticles Song of Songs Wisdom Wisdom Ecclesiasticus Sirach Isaias Isaiah Jeremias Jeremiah Lamentations Lamentations Baruch Baruch Ezechiel Ezekiel Daniel Daniel Osee Hosea Joel Joel Amos Amos Abdias Obadiah Jonas Jonah Micheas Micah Nahum Nahum Habacuc Habakkuk Sophonias Zephaniah Aggens Haggai Zacharias Zechariah Malachias Malachi The New Testament books are not substantially different. Hope this helps. Heh. As a sidenote, in my Bethel Bible Study class in my Episcopal Church, the Father asked a question about Israel as a harlot, I think, and I responded by referencing "Osee" and everyone looked blank; he translated for me. I didn't even realize at the time that the names were different. I've gotten used to it now. Growing up, I think I used an "in-between" Bible, with a partial New American translation, and partial Douay, with Douay titles. I don't remember what it was called except that it had a picture of the Assumption on the front. -- Sincerely, Cindy Smith _///_ // SPAWN OF A JEWISH _///_ // _///_ // <`)= _<< CARPENTER _///_ //<`)= _<< <`)= _<< _///_ // \\\ \\ \\ _\\\_ <`)= _<< \\\ \\ \\\ \\ <`)= _<< >IXOYE=('> \\\ \\ \\\ \\_///_ // // /// _///_ // _///_ // emory!dragon!cms <`)= _<< _///_ // <`)= _<< <`)= _<< \\\ \\<`)= _<< \\\ \\ \\\ \\ GO AGAINST THE FLOW! \\\ \\ A Real Live Catholic in Georgia
