The Apocrypha of the Old Testament, written by Edwin Cone Bissell, is a comprehensive collection of books that were excluded from the traditional Protestant Bible. The Apocrypha consists of 14 books that were written between the 3rd century BC and the 1st century AD. These books provide insight into Jewish history, theology, and culture during the intertestamental period. The Apocrypha includes books such as Tobit, Judith, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach, and 1 and 2 Maccabees. This book is a valuable resource for scholars, theologians, and anyone interested in the history of the Bible and the Jewish people. Bissell's commentary and analysis provide context and understanding of the Apocrypha's significance and influence.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1890 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
