The Apocrypha Of The Old Testament

By Edwin Cone Bissell

Book Overview

The Apocrypha of the Old Testament is a book written by Edwin Cone Bissell. It is a collection of texts that are considered to be part of the Old Testament by some Christian denominations, but not by others. The book includes fourteen books that were written between the third century BCE and the first century CE. These books were originally written in Greek and were not included in the Jewish canon of scripture. The Apocrypha includes books such as Tobit, Judith, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach, Baruch, and 1 and 2 Maccabees. These books provide insight into the Jewish culture and history during the time between the Old and New Testaments. The Apocrypha of the Old Testament is a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in the history of the Jewish people and the development of the Christian faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
