The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament, Volume One: Apocrypha

The Old Testament Apocrypha is the best-loved and most-studied body of literature left out of the Protestant Bible. Called “duetero-canonical” by Catholic Christians, these books shed invaluable light on the critical period of Jewish history taking place between the testaments. This edition, edited by respected biblical scholar R.H. Charles, was the definitive scholarly edition for over seventy years, and is still of considerable interest to scholars and curious readers alike. Books featured in this collection include 1 Esdras, 1, 2, & 3 Maccabees, Tobit, Judith, Sirach, Wisdom of Solomon, 1 Baruch, Epistle of Jeremiah, Prayer of Manasses, Song of the Three Holy Children, Susanna, Bel & the Dragon, Additions to Esther.
