Even if you have the previous edition, this one is worth buying. Many of the books in the apocrypha are taken from the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hammadi texts which were in pieces. There are hundreds of experts piecing them back together using other apocrypha, religious texts, and historical texts. That takes time. So every year there are corrections, new additions, and added footnotes to help explain the scriptures. That means buying a new edition.

Enjoy reading the book . Always compare it back to the Bible. The book does provide interesting history in more detail.

Great Insight

I know that the Apocrypha is Cannon in Biblical context but there are some great insights in some of the books.

[Gary Emig · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very interesting reading. Some sections are extremely laborious to read. Some sections certainly contradict the Bible, but most align well.

A fascinating look into angelogoy. Helpful if you are going to study Jude and 2 Peter.
