There are differences in the Bible Canon between Protestants, Roman-Catholics and Eastern-Orthodox and Oriental-Orthodox. But is the Protestant Canon of 66 books the common denominator? Aka, are there any historical Churches that do not recognize any of the 66 books from the Protestant Canon?

Which gives the answer of Swedenborgianism. – curiousdannii Aug 03 '21 at 08:12

Depends; would differences in content between various versions of canonical books (e.g., Masoretic vs. Septuagint) count ? Would ancient Gnostics count as a historical church, who rejected the entire Old Covenant ? – Aug 03 '21 at 08:57

Would apostolic churches whose New Testament canon consisted of only twenty-two books for most of their bi-millennial history, but eventually came to consist of twenty-seven only over the last two or three centuries, count ? – Aug 09 '21 at 21:03
