Re: Introduction
Ok, my litle butt munching Papist friend
My copy of the KJV 1611, which was printed in 1642 by the way, has the Apocrypha sandwiched between the OT and the NT.
If you take the time to actually read the foreword and introductory notes, you know the pages right after you open the cover, you will see that the books of the Apocrypha while written by Godly men were not, in fact, inspired by God.
These books, while still a valuable source of history, are not considered to be part of the cannon.
Think of them, rather, as something like an encyclopedia of Biblical times.
