The Lost Books of the Bible!

Lost Books, which may or may not have been removed from the Bible are a subject of great debate. Many analyses of the "Lost Books" also include references to Epistles and Gospels which also adds to the confusion.

Some sources indicate that the are 22 Books have been removed, other list hundred of Books or references, some have only associations with the Bible. So to the uninformed the listing can become a headache to understand

Below is a list that we have compiled. We cannot guarantee however that the list is one hundred percent correct. You will understand this if you put into the Google Search Engine; "Lost Books of the Bible" the results, at last count runs into over 450,000 search results.

Why this has happened is matter for much debate, deliberate or unintentional exclusion by the church to the number of variations in current Bibles published in different countries. Within the Angelic Tradition some believe the the books were removed to protect the ancient Kabbalistic Knowledge that they contained.

Before you view the list it is important that you understand the following two terms; Apocrypha / Deuterocanonical Books as many of the below are categorized as one or the other.

Roman Catholic Bibles have several more books in the Old Testament than Protestant Bibles. These books are referred to as the Apocrypha or Deuterocanonical books. The word apocrypha means “hidden,” while the word deuterocanonical means “second canon.”

These texts where primarily written between the the time of the production of the Old and New Testaments

Israel treated the Apocrypha / Deuterocanonical books but have never accepted them as true books for inclusion in the Hebrew Bible. Therefore these books may teach what is not true or at least inaccurate. However, from a Christian perspective many of the Apocrypha / Deuterocanonical books.

Finally it has also been identified that some stark errors can be identified in the Apocrypha books. If you wish to peruse this area of information please refer to the following website's:
