Denies

Deuterocanonical books rejected; 66-book Protestant canon affirmed

SDA does not include deuterocanonical books in biblical canon. Adventism affirms 66-book Protestant canon. Books of Tobit Wisdom Sirach 1-2 Maccabees and Apocryphal additions not recognized as Scripture.\n\nAdventist theology based solely on 66 canonical books. While books may have historical value for understanding intertestamental period they lack Scripture authority. Position consistent with Adventist emphasis on Scripture sufficiency.
