What is Apocrypha? Apocrypha / Deuterocanonical: Bible's Lost Books is a free app that includes the books of the apocrypha, which were originally published in the 1611 King James Bible. The app also includes the 70 missing verses in 2 Esdras, which are not part of the King James Version Apocrypha but are revealed in the Cambridge Annotated Study Apocrypha. The app features TTS audio, offline access, auto-scrolling, full-screen mode, bookmarks, notepad, highlighting, big and bold fonts, searchable keywords, adjustable font size and spacing, 3 verse layout modes, resume button, and landscape or portrait orientation. The app also includes the King James Version (KJV) and the World English Bible (WEB) for free download.
1. Apocrypha / Deuterocanonical: Bible's Lost Books includes these books: 1 Esdras, 2 Esdras, Tobit, Judith, Additions to Esther, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach, Baruch, the Letter of Jeremiah, Prayer of Azariah, Susanna, Bel and the Dragon, Prayer of Manasseh, 1 Maccabees, 2 Maccabees, and Laodiceans.

3. The King James Version (KJV) & The World English Bible (WEB) are available to download within the app for free.
4. The apocrypha is a selection of books which were published in the original 1611 King James Bible (KJV).
5. With more than 20 English translations of the Bible currently available, the King James Version (1611) is still considered by many scholars to be the most influential and popular version.
6. The 70 missing verses in 2 Esdras are not part of the King James Version Apocrypha, but are revealed in the Cambridge Annotated Study Apocrypha -edited by: Howard C.
7. Many claim the apocrypha should never have been included in the first place, raising doubt about its validity and believing it was not God-inspired (for instance, a reference about magic seems inconsistent with the rest of the Bible: Tobit chapter 6, verses 5-8).
8. The word 'apocrypha' means 'hidden.' Fragments of Dead Sea Scrolls dating back to before 70 A.D. contained parts of the apocrypha books in Hebrew, including Sirach and Tobit.
9. The apocrypha was a part of the KJV for 274 years until being removed in 1885 A.D. A portion of these books were called deuterocanonical books by some entities, such as the Catholic church.
10. In 1604, King James I of England authorized the re-translation of the Bible into English.
11. Others believe it is valid and that it should never have been removed- that it was considered part of the Bible for nearly 2,000 years before it was recently removed a little more than 100 years ago.
