Hutterites, following the Protestant Reformation, affirm the 66-book biblical canon and do not include the deuterocanonical books (Tobit, Wisdom, Sirach, Maccabees, Baruch, etc.) as part of Scripture. These books are valued in Christian tradition and may be read for edification, but they are not considered authoritative for doctrine and are not part of the canon.

The Hutterite position reflects the conviction that the Old Testament canon is the Hebrew Bible (39 books in the Protestant count), not the expanded Septuagint version. While these apocryphal books may contain wisdom and historical value, they lack the apostolic authority and Messianic witness characteristic of canonical Scripture.
