A Note on the Apocrypha
The books of the Apocrypha are sacred texts that were not included in the Hebrew Scriptures (the ‘Tanakh’) and are not considered today by many Christians to be part of the Bible.
Most, however, are contained in the Greek translation of the Old Testament (the 'Septuagint') made for the Greek-speaking Jews of Egypt in the 2nd century BC.
As such, they were accepted as Biblical by the early Christian church and were quoted as Scripture by many early Christian writers who used the Greek Bible. The apocryphal books are not included in The Bible Journey, but reference is made to them where appropriate.
