What is the Apocrypha?

Did Protestants remove books from the Bible? Did Catholics add them? The Apocrypha sits right at one of the biggest flashpoints between Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants—and in this video, Dave Deane (@drcdeane) cuts through the confusion. What are these books? Why do they matter? How did they end up in some Bibles? And should they really be received as the Word of God? Catholics, and some Orthodox Christians, say yes. Protestants say no. And we want to help you find out why and get to the heart of the disagreement. ---------- INTRODUCTION 00:00:00 1.
