CHAPTER 3. WORKS the English Civil War, actually excluded them from the canon. Luther himself said he was following Jerome's teaching about the Veritas Hebraica.
Modern Evangelical use Evangelicals tend not to accept the Septuagint as the inspired Hebrew Bible, though many of them recognize its wide use by Greek-speaking Jews in the first century.
Many modern Protestants point to four "Criteria for Canonicity" to justify the books that have been included in the Old and New Testament, which are judged to have satisfied the following:
1. Apostolic Origin – attributed to and based on the preaching/teaching of the first-generation apostles (or their close companions).
2. Universal Acceptance – acknowledged by all major Christian communities in the ancient world (by the end of the fourth century).
3. Liturgical Use – read publicly when early Christian communities gathered for the Lord's Supper (their weekly worship services).
4. Consistent Message – containing a theological outlook similar or complementary to other accepted [1] Luther's Antilegomena at bible-researcher.com

This article is about the early Lutheran liturgy. For the Schubert work, see Deutsche Messe (Schubert). For the trade fair operator, see Deutsche Messe AG.
Deutsche Messe, or The German Mass, (Deutsche Messe und Ordnung des Gottesdiensts) was published by Martin Luther in 1526. It followed his Latin mass, Formula missae (1523). Both of these masses were meant only as a suggestion made on request and were not expected to be used exactly as they were, but could be altered. The function of the mass, according to Luther, is to make people hear the word.
The German Mass was completely chanted, except for the sermon.
