Deuterocanonical booksb> - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The deuterocanonical booksb> are the booksb> that Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, Ethiopian Orthodoxy, and Oriental Orthodoxy include in the Old Testament that were not part of the Jewish Tanakh.
In the Catholic Church, the following booksb> are considered deuterocanonical: Tobit, Judith, 1 Maccabees, 2 Maccabees, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach (Ecclesiasticus), and Baruch; as well as some additions to Esther and Daniel.
In Catholicism, deuterocanonical means that the canonicity of the booksb> was definitively settled at a later date than the rest of the canon.

Sibylline Booksb> - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sibylline Booksb> were entrusted to the care of two patricians; after 367 BC ten custodians were appointed, five patricians and five plebeians; subsequently (probably in the time of Sulla) their number was increased to fifteen.
Thus one important effect of the Sibylline Booksb> was their influence on applying Greek cult practice and Greek conceptions of deities to indigenous Roman religion, which was already indirectly influenced through Etruscan religion.
As the Sibylline Booksb> had been collected in Anatolia, in the neighborhood of Troy, they recognized the goddesses and gods and the rites observed there and helped introduce them into Roman State worship, a syncretic amalgamation of national deities with the corresponding deities of Greece, and a general modification of the Roman religion.

Sibylline oracles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Booksb> I and II are regarded as a Christian revision of a Jewish original.
The surviving Sibylline Oracles are not the famous Sibylline Booksb> of Roman history, which were lost not once, but twice, and thus there is very little knowledge of the actual contents.
Book VIII offers peculiar difficulties; the first 216 verses are most likely the work of a second century Jew, while the latter part (verses 217-500) beginning with an acrostic on the symbolical Christian word Icthus is undoubtedly Christian, and dates most probably from the third century.

JewishEncyclopedia.com - SIBYL:

The majority of the quotations from the Sibylline Booksb> found in patristic literature are taken from the third book.
differs from the preceding booksb> in that the allusions to the emperors are too obscure to admit of identification, while alleged historical events do not correspond with the authenticated data.
For the sibylline prophecies were intended primarily for the pagans, although the intention was rather to convict them of sin and to glorify Judaism by contrast with them than to convert them.

Four Booksb> for Women

The Four Booksb> for Women (2) were four types of educational material for women in Chinese feudal society -- the Admonitions for Women, the Women's Analects, the Domestic Lessons, and the Sketch of a Model for Women.
The Four Booksb> for Women were specialized writings on the education of women; their objective lay in expounding the proper behavior for the female sex, the "three submissions" and the "four virtues" promoted by the Confucian school, in order to promote the "wise and worthy wives and good mothers" character model of feudal ideology.
These four spiritual bonds act as an extreme form of discrimination against and oppression of women without regard for their characters, stripping their thoughts and lives of autonomy and freedom, obliging them to follow the dictates of fate and the orders of parents and husband in everything.

What are the Deuterocanonical Booksb>?

Jerome also counseled that the "deuterocanonical" Old Testament, that is, those booksb> not available in Hebrew or not considered canonical by the Jews, were OK as models of faith and conduct, but should not be used to establish doctrine.
However, Protestants typically lump the Deuterocanonical Old Testament with truly noncanonical booksb>, as "Old Testament Apocrypha." All of the booksb> in the "Apocrypha" sections of Protestant bibles are accepted as canonical by at least one Christian body dating from before the Reformation.
In the meantime, one of the actions of the Roman Catholic Church's Council of Trent [6] was to finalize the Canon of Scripture, and include most of the deuterocanonical booksb> in the Old Testament, in spite of Jerome's advice.

Pseudepigrapha: An account of certain apocryphal sacred writings of the Jews and early Christians (viii.i)

Some of these authors apparently were acquainted only with the heathen booksb>; others, as Clemens Alexandrinus and Lactantius, cite passages of pagan, Jewish, and Christian authorship; and while some attribute to them an authority almost conclusive, others quote them with reserve, and own that their testimony is disputed and not always of decisive importance.
The next portion of this book is a hymn in praise of God the Father and God the Son, and cannot be regarded as an oracle; it is probably of the same authorship as the former parts, and its date is the same, or a little later.
The first book sketches the history of the world from the Creation to the Flood, and subsequently up to the second generation after Noah, and passes on to the advent of Christ, His life, death, and resurrection, the foundation of the Church, and the dispersion of the Jews.
