Description
The Researchers Library of Ancient Texts: Volume 1: The Apocrypha
Assembled by Thomas Horn
The Holy Bible as we hold it today is esteemed by many religious institutions and especially conservative Christians to be the inspired, inerrant Word of God. While no other text can claim the same unique authority, apocryphal and pseudepigraphal literature such as what is contained in this volume, provides literature that often precedes or follows the chronology of ancient texts, which are frequently used or assigned as supplemental works, within academic settings, to help students and scholars discover or better understand cultural and historical context within the Word of God. Whether or not this information contained in the Apocryphal literature is entirely precise, as is the Canon of Scripture, these ancient texts do provide commentators valuable insight into what many ancient Jews and early Christians believed in their time.
