| | A partial listing of apocryphal Gospels indicates how popular this form of imitation was; the Gospel of the Ebionites, the Gospel according to the Hebrews, the Gospel of Peter, the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, the Gospel of Bartholomew, the Gospel of Matthias, the Gospel of Barnabus, and even the Gospel of Judas! | | | The apocryphal Old Testament books arose in the second century BC., and can be said to have had a threefold purpose. | | | It is noteworthy how many of these spurious gospels there were, numerous enough to be a threat to the true Gospels. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Apocrypha |
| | Hence arose a considerable apocryphal Pilate literature, of which the Gospel of Gamaliel really forms a part, and like this latter apocryphon, it is characterized by exaggerating Pilate's weak defence of Jesus into strong sympathy and practical belief in His divinity. | | | Though worthless historically, the apocryphal Gospels help us to better understand the religious conditions of the second and third centuries, and they are also of no little value as early witnesses of the canonicity of the writings of the four Evangelists. | | | This briefly relates the fatuous crime of the Jews in persecuting the Holy One promised to them by their God; enumerates His miracles and states that the Jews accused Jesus of being a magician. |

| | 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. | | | In England, though Protestants were unanimous in declaring that the apocryphal books were not to be used to establish any doctrine, differences arose as to the proper use and place of non-canonical books. | | | Subsequent copyists of the Latin Bible, however, were not always careful to transmit Jerome's prefaces, and during the medieval period the Western Church generally regarded these books as part of the holy Scriptures. |

| | The Apocryphal Books |
| | These writings, along with the apocryphal books, are sometimes erroneously described as "the lost books of the Bible," a sensational and misleading title because these books were never a part of the Bible. | | | The Apocryphal Gospels often deal with the early years of Jesus and portray him as a temperamental child, here causing the death of some of his playmates and there giving life to a dried fish. | | | The apocryphal books are rightfully rejected from our Bible. |

| | ~ The Apocryphal Books Of The Catholic Bible ~ |
| | In conclusion, while these apocryphal books do give us some insight about the events that occurred during the period between the Old and New Testaments, they are definitely not the Word of God. | | | Also, some of these apocryphal books have been made into a single book, such as Baruch and the Letter of Jeremiah. | | | First of all, they contain teachings that are clearly unbiblical - for example, they encourage prayers for the dead, teach salvation by works, and they even include an account where God is shown to be assisting someone in a lie. |

| | Philosophical Poetry » Apocryphal Pining: Introduction and Baruch |
| | Because I often use the NET Bible, I have used their translations of some books of the Apocrypha as my starting point for study. | | | The traditional Catholic view of the deuterocanonical books (I’m not sure how widespread or official it is today) is that they were admitted into the canon as secondary books because they have turned out to be especially and uniquely useful as supplements for the teaching of the Church. | | | I’m still unsure if I really care to delve into the early Christian apocryphal works, such as the Gnostic gospels, since these have never really been considered as canonical by any orthodox branch of the Christian Church. |
