Synopsis

Discover how hidden writings shaped the Christian canon and worship across centuries.

This book traces the journey of apocryphal writings from early translations to their place in liturgy, doctrine, and practice across the church’s history. In clear, accessible prose, the author surveys how these texts were used, debated, or rejected by different traditions. You’ll see how the apocrypha gained prominence in some periods and faded in others, and how that history influences modern readings of sacred texts.

• Learn how terms like “apocrypha” evolved and what they signified in different eras
• Explore the relationship between the Apocrypha and the formation of the canon
• Understand how these writings influenced liturgy, devotion, and interpretation
• See examples of how various churches treated these books over time

Ideal for readers of church history, biblical studies, and anyone curious about how ancient writings shaped Christian practice today.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Use of the Apocrypha in the Christian Church

The following pages have been written in the hope of supporting the position taken up by the VIth Article of Religion with regard to the Apocryphal books.

The negative side of that position seems to have been far too much insisted upon; the positive side far too little. The results may be perceived in the omission of these books from the great majority of English Bibles printed in the present century, and in the disproportionately small use made of the Apocrypha for the purposes the Article specifies. That such was not the practice of the Church in the early centuries, nor formerly of the Church of England, either before or after the Reformation, it is the aim of this Essay to shew. There are now distinct indications that the neglect of "the other bookss" is on the wane.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
