Specif .:
Certain writings which are received by some Christians as an authentic part of the Holy Scriptures ,
but are rejected by others .
[
1913 Webster ]
Note :
Fourteen such writings ,
or books ,
formed part of the Septuagint ,
but not of the Hebrew canon recognized by the Jews of Palestine .
The Council of Trent included all but three of these in the canon of inspired books having equal authority .
The German and English Reformers grouped them in their Bibles under the title Apocrypha ,
as not having dogmatic authority ,
but being profitable for instruction .
The Apocrypha is now commonly ?
mitted from the King James '
s Bible .
[
1913 Webster ]
Apocrypha hidden ,
spurious ,
the name given to certain ancient books which found a place in the LXX .
and Latin Vulgate versions of the Old Testament ,
and were appended to all the great translations made from them in the sixteenth century ,
but which have no claim to be regarded as in any sense parts of the inspired Word .
(
1 .)
They are not once quoted by the New Testament writers ,
who frequently quote from the LXX .
Our Lord and his apostles confirmed by their authority the ordinary Jewish canon ,
which was the same in all respects as we now have it .
(
2 .)
These books were written not in Hebrew but in Greek ,
and during the "
period of silence ,"
from the time of Malachi ,
after which oracles and direct revelations from God ceased till the Christian era .
(
3 .)
The contents of the books themselves show that they were no part of Scripture .
The Old Testament Apocrypha consists of fourteen books ,
the chief of which are the Books of the Maccabees (
q .
v .),
the Books of Esdras ,
the Book of Wisdom ,
the Book of Baruch ,
the Book of Esther ,
Ecclesiasticus ,
Tobit ,
Judith ,
etc .
The New Testament Apocrypha consists of a very extensive literature ,
which bears distinct evidences of its non -
apostolic origin ,
and is utterly unworthy of regard .
