Exploring the Apocrypha from a Latter-day Saint Perspective

- $20.99
Brigham Young University professor Jared W. Ludlow offers a readable, faithful guide to the Apocrypha—the collection of intertestamental books found in some Christian Bibles. After explaining the Apocrypha's origins, canonical history, and Joseph Smith's response recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 91, Ludlow walks through each book—from the additions to Esther and Daniel to Tobit, Judith, and the Maccabees—highlighting passages of doctrinal interest and drawing parallels to LDS scripture and belief.
- Ever wonder what happened in the 400 silent years between Malachi and Matthew? This book fills the gap.
- A faithful LDS scholar unpacks the mysterious 'hidden books' the Lord told Joseph Smith about in D&C 91.
- Discover surprising parallels between the Apocrypha and the Book of Mormon, from being God's instrument to the gathering of Israel.
- Learn the real story behind Hanukkah and the heroic tales the early Christian world treasured.
“When a reader turns the page from the last chapter of Malachi in the Old Testament to the first page of Matthew in the New Testament, he has skipped a period of approximately four hundred years.”
Perfect for a curious Latter-day Saint adult—Gospel Doctrine teacher, seminary/institute instructor, or scripture enthusiast—who wants a faithful, guided introduction to the Apocrypha and its relevance to LDS belief.
