The Uncanonical and Apocryphal Scriptures

After providing an in-depth general introduction to the Apocrypha, W. R. Churton then provides introductions for each book and fragment before offering the English translation with notes and references. Churton argues that study of the Apocrypha leads to the conclusion that the Apocrypha have for their foundation a strong basis in the Hebrew Scriptures; thus, the Apocrypha confirm the traditions recorded by Josephus concerning the completion of the canon. Churton also provides a helpful index of passages from the canonical scriptures quoted or paraphrased in the Apocrypha.
