What is the Apocrypha—and why should Christians read it? In this episode of Ask the Church, we explore the history, purpose, and spiritual value of this “second canon” of books written in the centuries before Christ. Often overlooked or misunderstood, the Apocrypha offer rich insight into Jewish heritage, wisdom literature, and the cultural backdrop of the New Testament.
Whether you're curious about the Anglican view of the Apocrypha, Early Church history, or simply wondering where to begin, this 5-minute overview offers clarity, guidance, and encouragement to dig deeper.
