Pseudepigrapha

Pseudepigrapha are writings that are falsely attributed to well-known historical or religious figures, often from biblical times. They are usually created to lend authority or credibility to the texts, but their authors did not actually write them. These texts may include stories, teachings, or visions and are often found outside the accepted biblical canon. While they can offer valuable historical or cultural insights, they are not considered authentic scripture by most religious traditions. Pseudepigrapha help us understand diverse beliefs and ideas from past centuries, even though their authorship is uncertain or disputed.
