Bible Note: Apocrypha. Hi Kalos. I, too, have been digging though the Apocrypha a little. My interest was in reading Maccabees, having recently read Daniel. Also, it is interesting to flesh out some of the history before the time of Jesus. It does help to understand the gospels, I think. I am reading a book by N.T. Wright called "The New Testament and the People of God" --- it is really helping me to understand threads withing Judaism in the time before and after Christ. Peace, JRM. |
