Sign in to saveAlso known as Apocrypha, the Apocrypha
collection of ancient books found in some editions of Christian Bibles
Biblical apocrypha are ancient books that appear in some Christian Bibles but not in others, varying depending on which Christian tradition produced the Bible. These texts matter because they provide insight into early Christian beliefs and practices, and their inclusion or exclusion reflects how different Christian communities determined which writings were considered authoritative scripture.
