Explore how the Apocrypha shaped Christian thought, doctrine, and biblical scholarship across centuries.

This handbook offers a clear, accessible survey of the Apocrypha and its role in both Old and New Testament study. It explains why these writings have mattered for church history, theology, and the practice of biblical criticism, without assuming prior expertise.

Readers will discover how scholars classify the Apocrypha, why it has influenced major church debates, and how newer methods of study have transformed our understanding of these books. The volume also points to specific works—such as Jubilees, the Ascension of Isaiah, and various apocryphal epistles and apocalypses—and discusses what each contributes to modern Christian thought.

How the Apocrypha entered and remained part of or outside canonical tradition.

The historical and theological value these writings hold for understanding Judaism and early Christianity.

How apocryphal texts influence New Testament interpretation and modern criticism.

Examples of key works and the insights they offer into early belief, practice, and doctrine.

Ideal for readers of church history, theology, and biblical criticism who want a grounded, scholarly introduction to the Apocrypha.

Excerpt from The Apocryphal Books of the Old New Testament

The first question which naturally suggests itself in approaching the study of Jewish Apocryphal literature is, Why should we trouble about the Apocrypha at all? What value has the Apocrypha for us to-day? Im mersed as we are in theological problems of the first importance, why should we devote time and strength to the study of books which have been unanimously te jected by the whole of Protestant Christendom?
