==What Is Apocrypha?==

The Apocrypha, in contrast to the biblical canon, refers to a collection of writings not included in the Old Testament due to uncertainty surrounding their authority. The term literally means “books that are not part of the recognized Scriptures.” These texts were excluded from the canon because they did not meet the same standards of spiritual, moral, and historical reliability as the canonical books. The Apocrypha was written during the intertestamental period, between the time of the prophet [[~~Book of~~ Malachi|Malachi]] and the first century A.D.
