The Bible has 73 books, not 66. The first Christians referenced the Septuagint, which included the 7 books that were removed from the Bible's Old Testament by Martin Luther in the 1500's... So, for 1500 years the Church (the Catholic Church) had these 7 books that are missing in the Old Testament of Protestant Bibles. The Jews removed the 7 books from their list of inspired writings circa 70AD as a result of the growth of Christianity (they deemed them as part of the reason why Christianity had emerged... they were defiled). The complete Bible cannon, with the New Testament writings included, was defined in the year 382 during the Council of Rome.
