The rarely heard inspirational stories of the Apocrypha brought to life in this unique audiobook. In Biblical terms, ‘Apocrypha’ is a much-misunderstood term - and the title belies the immense significance of the 14 books to which it refers, all of which were originally published in the 1611 King James Bible but removed in 1885. Most of those books have always been in the Roman Catholic, Greek and other Orthodox Bibles and therefore are accepted as true Scripture by the majority of Christians.

In this sequel to 1 Corinthians, the Apostle Paul responds to accusations that his apostleship is not justified and genuine. Paul writes of his own suffering and relationship with God and also condemns the false messengers of God for spreading division amongst the church. This book is an encouraging reminder that God allows affliction and suffering for a purpose and that his grace is always present during these times of difficulty.

The book of Galatians was written by the Apostle Paul to the church in Galatia, regarding the division between the Christian Jews and the Christian Gentiles within their community.

The first of two letters to the church in Corinth, 1 Corinthians is an epistle written by the Apostle Paul due to reports of the sin and immorality present within its members.

Romans is the first of the epistles to be penned by the Apostle Paul.

In this book, Paul clearly lays out the doctrine of Christianity and gives illuminating instructions on how to live righteously in the midst of sin.

The last of the Gospels, the book of John was written by the disciple John the Beloved. This Gospel emphasises the undeniable truth that Jesus was the Son of God and demonstrates the need for this belief in order to be saved. John includes many miracles performed by Jesus throughout his life as proof of his divinity. As the disciple whom Jesus loved, John also inspires a deep love of God through his writing and encourages a closer relationship with him.

The Gospel of Luke was not written by one of Jesus' disciples but rather by a physician by the same name. Due to his profession, Luke has a distinctly human aspect to his writing, which contains greater details of the people whom Jesus interacted with, particularly the sinners. Jesus' entire life is depicted in these passages and portrays the Messiah not as an untouchable figure of greatness but as the more attainable and relatable Son of Man.

The Gospel of Mark focuses on the adult life of Jesus during his ministry up to his death and resurrection. As the shortest of the Gospels, Mark emphasises the briefness of Jesus' life and the ever-present recognition that his time on Earth was both to serve mankind and to give the ultimate sacrifice of his death.

The book of Matthew is the first book of the New Testament and the first of the Gospels to be written by one of the disciples of Jesus. Matthew testifies to the sacred lineage of Christ, proving his legitimacy as the Messiah and the Son of God. It also contains the story of Jesus' life, from his conception to his resurrection, making this book a wonderful transition from the Old Testament to the New, as it demonstrates the fulfillment of the prophecies regarding the Messiah.

The Second Book of Enoch, also known as the Slavonic Enoch or 2 Enoch, is an ancient religious text that is part of the Jewish apocalyptic tradition. It is considered pseudepigraphical, attributed to the biblical figure Enoch, who was said to have been taken up to heaven and shown divine revelations.

The Second Book of Enoch is comprised of several sections that offer a glimpse into cosmology, theology, and eschatology.

It’s not often that you come across a document of such religious and historical importance as The Septuagint Genesis – in fact its significance would be hard to overstate. But what is the Septuagint? Well, its name refers to the “seventy’ (actually 72) translators – six from each tribe of Israel – who translated the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek, the primary language of Jews in Egypt at the time. This, the oldest and arguably most important translation, was the version of The Bible that Jesus himself would have read – and the one from which almost all the New Testament’s writers were quoting.

The text explores themes of repentance, moral integrity, and the necessity of maintaining a pure and faithful Christian community.
