In the 4th century the Council of Rome had outlined the 27 New Testament books which now appear in the Catholic canon. [10]Luther considered Hebrews, James, Jude, and the Revelation to be "disputed books", which he included in his translation but placed separately at the end in his New Testament published in 1522; these books needed to be interpreted subject to the undisputed books, which are ...
