Apocrypha books:

The word Apocrypha is not found in the Bible, but is used to describe several Old Testament books that are not included in all versions of the Bible, such as the Protestant and Hebrew Bible.

They are, however, part of the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox versions of the Bible:

Tobit

Judith

1 Maccabees

2 Maccabees

Wisdom

Sirach (aka Ecclesiasticus)

Baruch

Additionally, the Apocrypha includes additional passages for Daniel and Esther.

There are also additional Apocrypha books, with less acceptance that are not listed above (and have not yet been added to this website).  They are 1 and 2 Esdras, 3 Maccabees, Odes, Jubilees, and Enoch.

(See our Internet resources page for sites with more information on this topic.)
