Assessment comments[edit]

Canonical comparison charts[edit]

Books of the bible - comparison chart of several different canonical traditions - with wiki links. Great start. Some potential for improvement:
- Hebrew bible sub-groupings are Christian POV. A more neutral grouping is needed.
- Some traditions are omitted from the table: Ethopian Orthodox, Syrian Orthodox, Armenian Orthodox, Anglican
- Only Tanakh is linked to article on canon
Table of books of Judeo-Christian Scripture
- Jewish POV
- adds Mormons to list of canon groups, but incorrectly includes Mormon works in bible - Mormons do not use the word Bible for the Mormon works. The collection of Bible+Mormon works is called "Scriptures". See [2]
