The video comment that Trent left the question unanswered seems to also be the path taken by both Luther and the translators of the 1611 King James Bible. Both Luther's translation and the original KJV include the Deuterocanonicals.

Interestingly enough, I found a reprint of the 1611 KJV at my local Lifeway. The original 1611 KJV includes the Liturgy of the Hours in its forward. The Liturgy includes several selections from the deuterocanonicals. [The Liturgical calendar in the 1611 KJV also included Marian feast days, such as the Immaculate Conception of Mary on December 8. Who knew?]

The video mentions 3 & 4 Maccabees. A Jewish friend of mine is interested in the Christian canon and I gave him a chart showing which books are included in which Church's canon. 3 Maccabees is included in the Greek and Syrian canons.

BTW, the word "canon" means suitable for reading aloud to those assembled.

God bless...
