The Complete Apocrypha: Collection of All Sixteen Deuterocanonical Books Excluded from the Bible (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781738600595)

The Deuterocanon, more commonly known as Apocrypha, is the collection of writings often sandwiched between "the Old and New Testaments. Some Christian denominations consider these books to be canonical or "semi-canonical. While Protestants largely reject the books as spurious or even heretical, and the Roman and "Orthodox churches accept them as canonical, it may be wise to recognize that historic Christianity has held to more of a middle ground, including by Reformers such as Martin Luther and early Catholic writers like Jerome. There has always been a distinction between protocanonical books of the Bible and the deuterocanonical books the former being near-universally attested to as God-breathed by the Church and the latter often questioned for their canonicity. At the same time, the deuterocanonical books are held in higher regard than the truly heretical Gnostic works that were written after the advent of Christianity.
