{"product_id":"the-apocrypha","title":"The Apocrypha","description":"Discover the hidden biblical treasures that provide essential context for understanding the New Testament: a powerful collection of books illuminating the era between the rebuilding of the Temple and the days of Jesus\n\nThey were called “Apocrypha,” the hidden or secret books, and while they formed part of the original King James version of 1611, they are no longer included in modern Bibles. Yet they include such important works as The First Book of Maccabees, the Wisdom of Solomon, Ecclesiasticus, and the stories of Susanna, Tobit, and Judith, and other works of great importance for the history of the Jews in the period between the rebuilding of the Temple and the time of Jesus, and thus for the background of the New Testament. These works have also had a remarkable impact on writers and artists. Beyond this, they are often as powerful as anything in the canonical Bible.\n\nThe translation into contemporary English is by Edgar J. Goodspeed.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0679724524\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0679724524.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
