The Apochrypha or Deuterocanonical Books of the Bible

by Various

The Apocrypha are religious texts (also known as the Deuterocanonical books), considered to be non-canonical and therefore outside of the Bible by most Protestant Christians. Catholic, Orthodox, and Oriental Christians consider most of the Deuterocanonical books to be canonical (except 1 and 2 Esdras and the Prayer of Manasseh). The dispute over the status of the Apocrypha/ Deuterocanonical books is one of the major differences between Protestant and Catholics/Orthodox/Oriental Christianity.

About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.
