-	The biblical apocrypha (from the Greek word ἀπόκρυφος meaning hidden) are books published in a separate section of some editions of the Bible despite not necessarily being considered part of the canon. For this reason they are typically printed in a third section of the Bible apart from the Old and New Testaments. In many editions they are omitted entirely.	+	#REDIRECT [[Apocrypha]]

-	Different churches and congregations have differing views on what, if anything, constitutes their Biblical Apocrypha. The biblical apocrypha are sometimes called simply "the" Apocrypha. For extra-biblical works sometimes referred to as "apocrypha", see the articles on apocrypha and on Pseudepigrapha. For biblical works sometimes classified as "apocrypha" despite being considered canonical by non-Protestant Christians, see the article on deuterocanonical books.	+

-	Although the term apocrypha simply means hidden, this usage is sometimes considered pejorative by those who consider some such works to be canonical parts of scripture.	+
