Which of the following books is not part of The Bible?

  1. The Book of Daniel

  2. The Book of Ruth

  3. The Book of Esther

  4. The Book of Q

The correct answer is: The Book of Q

The Book of Q is not part of The Bible because it is not a book that is recognized as being part of the biblical canon by any major Christian denomination. The Bible is typically composed of the Old and New Testaments, which include books exclusively from the Hebrew Bible and early Christian writings. While the Book of Daniel, Book of Ruth, and Book of Esther are all included in the Hebrew Bible and considered to be part of The Bible, the Book of Q is a hypothetical source document that is not commonly accepted as part of the canon. Therefore, it is the only incorrect option out of the four choices.
