Christian Apocrypha

Christian Apocrypha refers to a collection of ancient texts that are related to Christianity but are not included in the canonical Bible. These writings include gospels, letters, and other documents that offer alternative perspectives on Jesus, his teachings, and early Christian beliefs. Unlike the accepted books of the New Testament, which are recognized as authoritative by most Christian denominations, the Apocrypha is considered non-canonical, meaning it is not officially accepted as scripture. Some of these texts can provide valuable insight into the diversity of early Christian thought and the historical context of the faith.
