The Apocrypha #6

The New Testament Apocrypha are a number of writings by early Christians that give accounts of Jesus and his teachings, the nature of God, or the teachings of his apostles and of their lives. These writings often have links with the books generally regarded as "canonical" but Christian denominations disagree on which writings should be regarded as "canonical" and which are "apocryphal". Definition. The word "apocrypha" means "things put away" or "things hidden" and comes from the Greek through the Latin.
