I read that it is included i the Jerusalem Bible, since the Bible version originated from the Hebrews, why did canonized bibles excluded....the infamous BOOK OF WISDOM? but Ecclesiastes and Proverbs were included both or all presumed to be Solomon's wisdom sayings.

it has a long history. It started when the Jews that followed Jesus the Messiah went one way and those that did not believe in Jesus went another way. To those that buy the Davinci Code lies that debate is irrelevant here because that was about which books would become part of the new testament. The books that the question is about are the old testament books. The Short answer is that the Roman Catholic church has chosen to include them because some of the passages from the debated books back up their doctrines. The Protestant Reforrmation (Martin Luther, John Calvin and the King James Version) Did not find the new testament authors quoting these books and doubted the reasons they had been included. Almost all Bibles of the Protestant perspective do not include these books. The new Jerusalem and other catholic Bibles will include them. Ps. for the smart mouth who says Christians are against wisdom and removed those books then what are the books of Proverbs, JOB and Ecclesiastes. It is amazing what prejudiced people will say these days.

It’s because that book describes Sophia (Wisdom) as a feminine entity, an emanation of god, a goddess. This goddess is the Architect of the universe.
See also Proverbs 8:12-31

Why was it not included in the Protestant bible? Well they didn’t like it of course. But they’re still stuck with Proverbs 8.

Because..... Um i think that Book is too difficult to translate with exact meaning from Hebrew to another language (even Latin). and the book of wisdom, as you can see in the title, need a great wisdom to understand this book. I think untill now there are nobody can translate it in exact meaning of hebrew.... Even anybody who can trenslate won't translate... because if they make any mistakes it become a sin for them, because it means thay change the book. We just can wait untill a person, of course who trusted, gifted and asked by God translate it.

on the tip of revelation it says to no longer upload to any extent further words to this e book. (simpified version by potential of me) in case you seem on the Bible there is not any longer something truly mandatory lacking. all of us comprehend the thank you to get saved(maximum serious) all of us comprehend who God is and Jesus, ect. maximum are guy-made. you comprehend it truly is incorrect if it would not consider the present Bible we've. besides if some thing develop into existence necassary God could have had it extra earlier to the origional reproduction. So i assume you will desire to have faith with what He has given you. (Ya comprehend, I wager Shneb ought to respond to this ALOT extra effective!) desire it helped a sprint and did no longer make you extra puzzled! God Bless

I believe it was during Constatine's time who is the first catholic pope was the one with other 'scholars' of that time arranged which books or gospels should be included in the bible, as for their reasons will remain a mystery.

The Church of England only printed what it wanted too.

because the early church decided what we should know and not know. these people picked and chose what they think the world should know. which in turn makes the bible not of divine origin but created by man.
