| Publisher Description: Using a thematic approach, David A. deSilva gives a brief introduction and summary of the largely unknown and unappreciated books of the Apocrypha. He also gives an overview to the social and cultural context of the world of the Apocrypha and early Christianity. From there, the book highlights the Apocrypha's relevance and impact on Christian practices, spiritual formation, and on Early Church doctrine and theology. |
