The Apocrypha #4

{This is the 100th book since 2007!} The Biblical apocrypha (from the Greek ????????? apókruphos meaning hidden) denotes the collection of ancient books found in some editions of the Bible in a separate section between the Old and New Testaments or as an appendix after the New Testament. Although the term Apocrypha had been in use since the 5th century it was in Luther's Bible of 1534 that the Apocrypha was first published as a separate intertestamental section. Luther was making a polemical point about the canonicity of these books.
