1) not only Esther, but also Danielhttp: / / http://www.bible-reviews.com/charts_scri …
2) Why is the book of Esther in the shortest of the Protestant Bible is in the Catholic Bible?
English Protestant Bibles in general, separate from the Old Testament Scriptures as adopted by the Jews from the Scriptures of the Old Testament not approved by the Jews. This section is known as the Apocrypha. Many modern editions of the Bible omit the Apocrypha, but many still retain them. In the case of Esther, the "Additions to Esther" Esther came with the Roman Catholic Bible, but are either separated or omitted in the Apocrypha of the Protestant Bible.
3) Is the implication that the chapters are not divinely inspired or deleted critical to the story of Esther?
Yes, the Anglican Church decided in 1563 (The 39 items) that the Scriptures of the Apocrypha were not sufficiently reliable to use for the formation of Christian doctrine. This teaching has been adopted by most English Protestants sects success. However, also the 39 items specifically included in their Bibles Scripture. The Anglican Communion continues to use the Apocrypha in their religious services and in their Bibles. In the early 1600 - shortly after the first publication of the King James Version - a law was passed in England * * prevent anyone from publishing a bible omits the Apocrypha (a practice that seems to have originated with Puritans). However, in 1800 the practice of omitting the Apocrypha Bible English Protestants became the norm rather than the exception.
Some Protestants, including the Bible Apocrypha (in some editions) are:

The King James Version of the Bible has been completely removed 7 books and many other books of poems withdrawn.
Martin Luther removed Tobit, Judith, Baruch, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus [Sir] 1 and 2 Maccabees in the Old Testament. Plus got to Esther and Daniel. He also tried to remove Hebrews, James, Jude and Revelation in the New Testament, but they were later restored by his followers.
I hope not to sound like I'm giving anything, I'm not trying.

Some old copies of Esther do not include portions that are included in later versions. Esther is noteworthy because, although it appears in the Bible, at least, the Protestant version contains absolutely no direct reference to God. This is because the Greek translation of the Old Testament (known as the Septuagint) contains several chapters and verses that are not yet in the old Jewish texts. Because the Catholic Church accepted the whole of the Septuagint (or more correctly translated the Latin Vulgate), as divinely inspired, all-inclusive.
During the Protestant Reformation, however, much of the Vulgate was renewed scrutiny. Because these parts of Esther were not in the ancient texts, they were considered by the men added, and therefore excluded in the texts Protestants.

Catholic Bible is different, both were originally written in the same time, it is a matter of choice which one you like best,
as for me I read all the information you may have and NO ANSWER SOME OF PREACHER TELL ME WHAT TO READ
Do not let anyone tell you the King James Version is the only option, its only a version of the King of England wanted a very long time ago.
frankly, because people are still debating their way back, not much has changed.

Martin Luther removed it because he does not agree with. Also removed 7 books and was on the verge of elimination from the book of James and the verses of John.

Thanks for bringing this. Esther is just about my favorite Old Testament book and did not know that the Catholic version has added material. I look at this. Thank you.

I do not know, but there are plenty of books that are missing. I decided to buy and read. It should be interesting!
