The Canon of the Bible and the Apocrypha in the Churches of the East features essays reflecting
the latest scholarly research in the field of the canon of the Bible and related apocryphal
books with special attention given to the early Christian literature of Eastern churches.
These essays study and examine issues and concepts related to the biblical canon as well as
non-canonical books that circulated in the early centuries of Christianity among Christian and
non-Christian communities claiming to be authored by biblical characters such as the prophets
and kings of the Old Testament and the apostles of the New Testament.
