| | Apocrypha, Deuterocanonical Books |
 | | Apocrypha (Greek apokryphos,"hidden") is a word coined by the 5th-century biblical scholar Saint Jerome for the biblical books received by the church of his time as part of the Greek version of the Old Testament (see Septuagint), but that were not included in the Hebrew Bible. | | | Some thirteen books comprise the Apocrypha: I and II Esdras, Tobit, Judith, the Rest of Esther, the Wisdom of Solomon, Ecclesiasticus (which is also entitled the Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach), Baruch, the Letter of Jeremiah, the Additions to Daniel, the Prayer of Manasses, and I and II Maccabees. | | | Broadly speaking, the apocrypha of Jewish origin are coextensive with what are styled of the Old Testament, and those of Christian origin with the apocrypha of the New Testament. |

| | Why the Apocrypha Isn't in the Bible. |
| | In fact, the Jewish people rejected and destroyed the apocrypha after the overthow of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. The apocryphal books were not permitted among the sacred books during the first four centuries of the real Christian church (I'm certainly not talking about the Catholic religion which is not Christian). | | | Not even all Catholic "Church Fathers" believed the Apocrypha was scripture. | | | The apocryphal books were never acknowledged as sacred scriptures by the Jews, custodians of the Hebrew scriptures (the apocrypha was written prior to the New Testament). |

| | They also cite the fact that some of the Church fathers, notably Iraneaeus, Tertullian, and Clement of Alexandria, used the Aprocrypha in public worship and accepted them as Scripture, as did the Syriac Church in the fourth century. | | | The arguments that advocate the scriptural authority of the Apocrypha obviously leave a great deal to be desired. | | | The Greek Church adds its weight to their belief in the Apocrypha. |

| | The Apocrypha, and Why It's Not Scripture |
| | The Apocrypha was considered to be scripture by the Church from the very inception of Christianity. | | | One of the major pillars of support for the Apocrypha upon which the Catholic religion rests is the claim that, because these books were found in the Septuagint, that this means that these books were considered part of the Jewish canon, and thus should be accepted by the Christian churches as Scripture. | | | This ignorance, especially of Hebrew, was an important factor in the acceptance of the Apocrypha by these bishops and churches, as it kept them from being able to examine the evidence of the Hebrews and their canon first hand. |

| | The Old Testament Apocrypha Controversy - Probe Ministries |
| | Protestants believe that the Scriptures, the writings of the prophets and apostles, are the foundation upon which the church is built and are authenticated by the Holy Spirit, who has been and is active in church congregations and councils. | | | Those who support the canonicity of the Apocrypha argue that both Jesus and his followers were familiar with the Greek OT called the Septuagint. | | | Because the earliest complete manuscripts we have of this version of the OT includes extra books called the Apocrypha, many believe that these books should be considered part of the OT canon even though they are not found in the Hebrew OT. |

| | The apocrypha has even formed the basis of the most important of all Jewish prayers, the Amidah (the Shemonah Esrah). | | | They were rejected by Martin Luther for some verses contained in some of them which seemed to contradict his views, especially a verse in Macabees which alludes to purgatory "it is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from their sins". | | | Most of the codices found in Nag Hammadi, including the only complete text of the Gospel of Thomas, are also considered as apocrypha of the New Testament. |

| | On Apocrypha |
| | The Apocrypha continued to be part of printed Bibles until about 1827, when both the British and American Bible Societies took a definitive stand against their continued publication. | | | But this is not true of the books of the Apocrypha, and it is difficult to see why some of them were not in fact included. | | | Origen (he died in A.D. 254) was the first to apply the word "apocryphal" to books used by the Church; he says that he borrowed his terminology from the Jews, and his use of apocryphos entirely corresponds with the Jewish use of ganaz. |

| | The Error of Adding the Apocrypha, Apocryphal, or Hidden Books |
| | This arbitrary inclusion of the Apocrypha in spite of the fact that these books were not permitted among the sacred books during the first four centuries, and that there was no evidence that they were ever part of the old Testament Hebrew congregation's inspired texts. | | | As stated, the Apocrypha was never even declared authoritative scripture by the Catholic Church itself until the council of Trent some fifteen hundred years after Christ established the Church. | | | So again, if these apocrypha books were God inspired text, they would have been in the Hebrew texts used by God's Chosen People. |

| | Apocrypha: A Fresh Look |
| | The question of the Apocrypha was (and still is) not a life and death deal to me. However, it was important to me to know whether or not it is Scripture. | | | So much for the argument that the Apocrypha is not mentioned in the rest of the Bible. | | | This means that not only did the reformers (Calvin, Luther, Zwingli) have the Apocrypha in their Bibles, but that all Christians had it for almost 1700 years after Christ. |

| | A Brief History of the Apocrypha |
| | The terms "protocanonical" and "deuterocanonical" are used to signify respectively those books of Scripture that were received by the entire Church from the beginning as inspired, and those whose inspiration came to be recognized later, after the matter had been disputed by certain Fathers and local churches. | | | Besides the fifteen books or parts of books that are traditionally called the Apocrypha, there are many other Jewish or Jewish-Christian works, dating from the centuries immediately before and after the beginning of the Christian era, which for a time were popular among certain groups of Jews and in early Eastern Churches. | | | The word "macabre," according to the opinion of several lexicographers, may be derived ultimately from "Maccabee, " alluding to the grisly and gruesome tortures inflicted upon the Jewish martyrs. |

| | The Apocrypha - Cutting Edge Ministries |
| | Perhaps we need to consider the possibility that the apocrypha has been brought forth by the will of God and should not be tossed aside as mere spurious writings, as is often the case throughout the Christian Church today. | | | The Old Testament Apocrypha or Deuterocanonical writings are probably the most familiar as they are included within the Septuagint and preserved within the Catholic Bible today. | | | Although it might be concluded that at least some such writings can be attributed to false teachers and the making of deliberate forgeries, it must be conceded that many of these writers believed themselves to be moved by the same Spirit of God, even when they were writing under a pseudo name. |

| | Using the word apocrypha (Greek: hidden away) to describe texts, although not necessarily pejorative, implies to some people that the writings in question should not be included in the Bible. | | | This classification commingles them with certain other gospels and New Testament Apocrypha. | | | The Style Manual for the Society of Biblical Literature recommends the use of the term deuterocanonical literature instead of Apocrypha in academic writing. |
