Definitions:
-
(1)
(Apocrypha) group of ancient religious books accepted in the Old Testament by some Christian traditions (like Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches) but not in the Hebrew Bible or most Protestant BiblesWhen it is capitalized, the Apocrypha usually means this specific set of books placed between the Old and New Testaments in some Christian Bibles. In a broader and less common sense, people sometimes use “apocrypha” or “apocryphal writings” (lowercase) for early religious texts related to the Bible that were never included in any standard version of it and whose authority is uncertain.
The term apocryphal can also be used to reference anything of questionable authenticity. - (2) (meaning too rare to warrant focus)
