The Apocrypha consists of the books found in the Greek version of the Jewish Bible--the Septuagint (the earliest complete version of the Bible we possess), but not included in the final, canonical version of the Hebrew Bible. For this reason, they were called "APOCRYPHA," the hidden or secret books. While they formed part of the original King James version of 1611, they are no longer included in many modern Bibles. They are, however, found in all Catholic Bibles. The Apocrypha includes such important works as The First Book of Maccabees, the Wisdom of Solomom, Ecclesiaticus, 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.
