Mr. Charles was able to chronicle through the research of bibical manuscripts that are housed in various libraries and museums about the world to bring this information to the light of day. Although, the publication went to print in the early part of the twenty century, it is informative and relevant today.
A great critical edition
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is one of the best and most time-honored editions of the Apocrypha out there. Unfortunately, there seems to be some confusion regarding exactly what "the Apocrypha" refers to. Anglicans, Lutherans, and all other Protestants have always referred to the following books as "the Apocrypha": 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. This book, deriving as it does from an Anglican source, uses the Anglican term for this collection of books, and those are indeed the books included in this volume. The Roman Catholic church refers to these same books as Deutero-Canonical, but they are the same books in any case. Even though it is old, I do not know of a better critical edition of the Apocrypha out there.
