The Apocrypha Books of the King James Bible

The Apocrypha Books of the King James Bible

Before the 1880â€™s every English Protestant Bible printed had 80 books, not 66! The inter-testamental books written hundreds of years before Christ called â€œThe Apocryphaâ€ were part of virtually every printing of the Tyndale-Matthews Bible, the Great Bible, the Bishops Bible, the Protestant Geneva Bible, and the King James Bible until their removal in the 1880â€™s! The original 1611 King James contained the Apocrypha, and King James threatened anyone who dared to print the Bible without the Apocrypha with heavy fines and a year in jail. Only for the last 120 years has the Protestant Church rejected these books, and removed them from their Bibles. This has left most modern-day Christians believing the popular myth that there is something â€œRoman Catholicâ€ about the Apocrypha. There is, however, no truth in that myth, and no widely-accepted reason for the removal of the Apocrypha in the 1880â€™s has ever been officially issued by a mainline Protestant denomination.
