Is the Apocrypha Scripture? (Part 1)

Roman Catholics include 7 additional books in their Bibles that Protestants reject as Scripture. Protestants call these books the "Apocrypha" (meaning "hidden") while Roman Catholics call them the "Deuterocanon" (meaning "second canon"). Should they be included in our Bibles or not? David and Nathan discuss several topics in part 1 including:

• Why it matters

• The time the apocrypha was written and cessation of the prophets

• The Septuagint

• Jesus and the apostles' view of these books

Part 2 will include discussion on:

• The Church Fathers

• Jerome and the Vulgate

• The Reformation

• The Council of Trent

• Concluding Thoughts
