Books of the Apocrypha

The Apocrypha are a group of Books which were added to the Bible later and are not considered canonical, however many of the Fathers and the Reformers considered them useful to read for guidance and learning. Unlike the rest of the Bible, they are not infallible. Gnostic texts are not included in this list.

Note: The Old Testament Apocrypha (Deuterocanon) is considered scripture by the Roman Catholic Church, due to their use of the Septuagint rather than the Hebrew Bible.

Old Testament Apocrypha

Note: Very little of the New Testament Apocrypha was ever accepted, with the only two exceptions being the Shepherd of Hermas and the Epistle of Barnabas. This page may need remaking to show the true extent of the dissonance between the New Testament canon and the New Testament Apocrypha.
