Here is the suggested table of contents of Bob Kraft:

[I have written out the numerals and the words "Book of" etc., for a
certain amount of internal consistency with our two previous Project
Gutenberg releases of the King James Bible which did not include the
books listed below. The tables of contents I received for this were

assistance, will be corrected by month's end. There are also Etexts
to be made of even more Apocryphal materials, if you can help us get
them into our Electronic Public Library. Thanks, Michael S. Hart]
