This Syriac Bible contains a 39-book Old Testament and 27-book New Testament, as found in the standard Protestant tradition. While the New Testament is the same, the Syriac Old Testament canon contains more books, including 5 Maccabees and the Apocalypse of Baruch, which are unique to the Syriac Orthodox Church. There is currently no published version of the Bible that contains all canonical works of this tradition.
