Canonical and Apocryphal Books of the Old and New Testaments.
In addition to the canonical books of the Bible, there are many Jewish and Christian books known as the Apocryphal books of the Old and New Testaments. A critical review of the Bible demands a consideration of the apocryphal as well as the canonical books, and the subject will be made more intelligible to the reader by giving a list of both. In making a classification of them they will be divided into ten groups, as follows:
1.
Books accepted as canonical and divine by all Jews and Christians.
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy.
2.
Books accepted as canonical and divine by a part of the Jews and by all Christians.
Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi.
