Part III

Revealing the Bible’s Hidden Treasures in the Apocrypha

In this part . . .

You discover why some Bibles are bigger than others by exploring the contents of the Apocrypha — books that are included in Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Bibles, but not in Jewish or Protestant Bibles. The Apocrypha contains fascinating history and timeless tales of great heroes, including Judah Maccabee, who leads a rebellion against the Greeks, and Judith, who cuts off the head of a potential paramour (most of us would have settled for a kiss). You even meet a dragon and an angel fond of fish.
