What is Canon?

Scriptural canon is the collection of texts sanctioned by the religious governing body.  For the Hebrew Scriptures, different communities accept and organize canon differently.  The Protestant canon is roughly the same as the Hebrew Canon, although the books are divided and ordered differently.  Roman Catholic and Ethiopic canons included additional texts.  The Roman Catholic canon was based off of the Septuagint (the Greek translation) and the Ethiopic canon is the only canon to include the Book of Enoch.
