A note on which books are listed
This site uses the 66-book Protestant canon, because that is the canon of the public-domain datasets it stores. Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox traditions recognise additional books, and their absence here reflects a constraint on available data rather than a judgement about which canon is correct. More on how the canons differ.
