Deuterocanonical Books — "Tobit, Wisdom, Sirach, Maccabees"

Branhamism, like most Protestant and Pentecostal groups, does not regard the deuterocanonical books (Tobit, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, Maccabees) as part of the biblical canon. While these texts may be historically interesting and have some spiritual value, they are not considered Scripture with apostolic authority. Branham's emphasis on restoring apostolic faith based on the 66 books of the Protestant Bible excludes these texts from canonical status.

For Branhamism, the canon is fixed: the 39 books of the Old Testament and 27 of the New Testament. This reflects both Reformation protestantism and the Jewish biblical tradition. The deuterocanonical books are sometimes consulted for historical background on Second Temple Judaism, but they do not carry the same weight as the canonical Scriptures in establishing doctrine or providing the foundation for Branham's prophetic message.
