Synopsis
Explore how the Apocrypha shaped Christian thought across centuries.
This concise handbook introduces the Apocrypha as a body of Jewish and early Christian writings. It explains how these books were read, disputed, or set aside in different eras, and why they have mattered for Bible study and theology. The book also surveys key works, from historical records to apocalyptic and didactic writings, and it shows how modern scholarship uses them to illuminate the New Testament and early Christian history.
Readers will find an accessible guide to the literature, its historical context, and its influence on doctrine and practice. The discussions highlight how specific books were received, disputed, or integrated into religious culture, and why the Apocrypha remains a valuable source for understanding Judaism and early Christianity.
- A clear overview of what the Apocrypha is and how it entered the Bible
- Why these writings matter for history, theology, and biblical criticism
- Snapshots of major works such as Jubilees, Ascension of Isaiah, and apocryphal epistles
- How scholars approach the canon, interpretation, and the Apocrypha’s influence on the New Testament
Ideal for readers of church history, theology, and biblical studies who want a solid, readable introduction to this complex collection.

Présentation de l'éditeur
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?
