Lost Bible Books and Apocrypha for Android

10 things about Lost Bible Books and Apocrypha

1. It includes accounts of the young Jesus, particularly the Gospel of Mary and the Protevangelion, which provides additional folklore about the birth and youthful adventures of Jesus and which are missing now.

2. This is a collection of New Testament Apocrypha, including many works which were admired and read by the early Christians, but which were later excluded from the canonical Bible.

3. Of note are the letters of Paul and Seneca, and the letters of Herod and Pilate, which are most likely a forgery, but add more depth to the question of the historicity of Jesus.

4. This book contains translations of all of the texts found in volume I of the weighty Oxford University Press Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, without any of the apparatus.

5. Also worth a close read are the three books of the Shepherd of Hermas, which uses apocalyptic and symbolic imagery.

6. This is a popularized translation of the OT pseudepigrapha, quasi-Biblical writings which never achieved canonical status (or inclusion in any of the official Apocrypha).

7. This isn't to say that these documents are forgeries, just that for one reason or another they were not considered part of the Biblical text by the first millenium (C.E.) compilers.

8. The Lost Books of the Bible by Rutherford H.

9. The Forgotten Books of Eden by Rutherford H.

10. There are also a number of non-canonical epistles, such as Laodiceans.
