Apocrypha

Editor's Note: This term was added here as a stub.

We are asking the BJS community to help us create this site by defining some terms. If you want to step forward and help us out, please do the following:

1. Review our definition guidelines


2. Contact us so that we can identify that you are working on this definition on this page (this will prevent two people from working on the same definition!)


3. After you have defined the term, email us the definition or submit it here


4. Get your name in lights! (well, as a credit at the bottom of this page!)

This list of "Terms that need defining" is of course just a suggestion list to get you started; you may come up with your own term and provide the definition as well!

Please contact us if you have further questions.

Things to mention:
Luther's opinion on these books
History of the books — how there is some books that were included in the original apocrypha that didn't even make it here.
The fact that there are references in the BoC to Tobit and 2 Maccabees.
