What does apocrypha mean?
The apocrypha are books that are considered to be outside the canonical texts of the Bible, but are still considered to be of value for their historical or theological insights. They are often included in the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Bibles, but are not part of the Protestant Bible.
Example
"The apocrypha contains stories and prophecies that are not found in the canonical texts of the Bible."
