Synopsis

The KJV Apocrypha in a single volume

The Apocrypha ("hidden things") are contemporaneous with the Old Testament, but were not officially accepted as part of the Bible when the Hebrew "canon" was set. They did, however, form part of the Greek Scriptures and came into English Bibles by that route. The writings of the Apocrypha run the whole gamut of literary genres: histories, romances, devotional works, proverbs, and sermons. Many complement parts of the Old Testament and listeners will recognize some familiar Biblical characters in the narratives, such as Daniel and Esther.

About King James

King James (James Charles Stuart; 1566-1625) was King of Scotland as James VI from July 24, 1567, and King of England and Ireland as James I from the union of the Scottish and English crowns on March 24, 1603, until his death in 1625. He sponsored the translation of the Bible into English that would later be named after him: the Authorized King James Version.

Goodreads review by Thomas on December 15, 2021

I’ve read the Bible several times but not one containing these books. I decided to read them so I would get some idea what was in them. With due respect to those who consider these books to be sacred scripture, my rating is based on my impression of them as literature. I understand that it’s not the......more

Goodreads review by Jonathan on August 16, 2020

While the history and stories are interesting, especially in the triumphs and horrors of captive Israel, the books typically lack the spirit-inviting insight of much of the more commonly canonized scriptures. There are segments of beautiful wisdom and poetry, but some of those parts somehow end up f......more
