This Halcyon Classics ebook contains the Apocrypha, books (also known as Deuterocanonical books), considered to be non-canonical by most Protestant Christians. Catholic, Orthodox, and Oriental Christians consider most of the Deuterocanonical books to be canonical (except 1 and 2 Esdras and the Prayer of Manasseh).

The dispute over the status of the Apocrypha/Deuterocanonical books is one of the major differences between Protestant and Catholics/Orthodox/Oriental Christianity.
