![]() Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. This is a good introductory overview of those Apocryphal writings that didn't quite make it into the canon of the Bible. The fact that several of these are mentioned in the canonical scriptures lends credence to their authenticity. This book discusses how each of the mainstream faiths with a vested interest in the Bible (Jews, Protestants, Catholics and Orthodox Christians) view these writings. Although these works are not currently seen as being endowed of the the same source of inspiration as those officially canonized in the fourth century, they have nonetheless strongly influenced the evolution and practices of the faithful. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
