These are books in the Bible that were somehow overlooked, by-passed, or judged "non-biblical" by Protestant scholars hundreds of years ago. Today, most people in America don't even know they were ever part of the canon of Scripture. Does this strike anyone else as odd... or disturbing? History can disappear.
I don't even know what most of these books are about. Except Tobit. Raphael House got its name from the angel in that book, and we talked about this quite often in our little chapel. But what are all these other books about, and is it bad that there is more Bible than what the Protestants believe?
Yet another complicating factor of the Orthodox Church: the Bible's different.
