For thousands of years the Holy Bible included the 19 books contained within this text, but just over 200 years ago they were removed. The time has come to reclaim these biblical scriptures and gain a deeper insight into the word of God.. Included within are:The Apocrypha (15 Books)Writings contemporaneous with the Old Testament, but not officially accepted as part of the Bible when the Hebrew 'canon' was set. The 15 books of the Apocrypha consisting of 1 Esdras, 2 Esdras, The Book of Tobit, The Book of Susanna, Additions to Esther, The Book of Judith, Wisdom of Solomon, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, The Epistle of Jeremiah, The Prayer of Azariah, Bel and the Dragon, Prayer of Manasses, 1 Maccabees, and 2 Maccabees, run the whole gamut of literary genres: histories, romances, devotional works, proverbs and sermons. Many complement parts of the Old Testament and readers will recognise some familiar Biblical characters in the narratives, such as Daniel and Esther.. The Book of EnochAn ancient Hebrew apocalyptic religious text, ascribed by tradition to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. Enoch contains unique material on the origins of demons and Nephilim, why some angels fell from heaven, an explanation of why the Genesis flood was morally necessary, and prophetic exposition of the thousand-year reign of the Messiah.The Book of JubileesAn ancient Jewish religious work, considered one of the pseudepigrapha by Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox Churches.The Gospel of PhilipA non-canonical Gnostic Gospel dated to around the third century but lost in medieval times until rediscovered by accident, buried with other texts near Nag Hammadi in Egypt. The text is not closely related to the canonical gospels and is not accepted as canonical by the Christian church.The Gospel of MaryA non-canonical text discovered in a fifth-century papyrus codex written in Sahidic Coptic. Although the work is popularly known as the Gospel of Mary, it is not classed as a gospel by some scholars, who restrict the term 'gospel' to texts "primarily focused on recounting the teachings and/or activities of Jesus during his adult life".
