#79 - The History of the Acceptance of the Apocrypha

In this episode, we trace the fascinating and often controversial journey of the Apocrypha-those books sitting between the Old and New Testaments in some Bibles but missing entirely from others. Why were these books accepted by some traditions and rejected by others? How did Jerome, the Reformers, and the Council of Trent each weigh in? Join us as we explore how the Apocrypha was received across Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant lines and why it still sparks debate today.
