About this listen

The rarely heard inspirational stories of the Apocrypha brought to life in this unique audiobook.

In Biblical terms, ‘Apocrypha’ is a much-misunderstood term - and the title belies the immense significance of the 14 books to which it refers, all of which were originally published in the 1611 King James Bible but removed in 1885. Most of those books have always been in the Roman Catholic, Greek and other Orthodox Bibles and therefore are accepted as true Scripture by the majority of Christians. So, although the word ‘apocrypha’ literally means ‘things hidden away’, these texts have never ‘officially’ been considered secret.

Perhaps the best description is Martin Luther’s: ‘Apocrypha - that is, books which are not regarded as equal to the holy Scriptures, and yet are profitable and good to read.’

In any event, these books are certainly not as well-known and understood as the canonical Scriptures - and who better to bring to light and new life these lesser-heard sacred texts than acclaimed British narrator Christopher Glyn! Best known for his narration of the hugely popular Complete King James Audio Bible among many other inspirational works, Christopher is the only narrator to have recorded both the Bible and The Apocrypha. Drawing on a 35-year career as a Christian broadcaster and narrator, he delivers these stories in a uniquely expressive style that is filled with wonder at the beauty and power of God’s word, yet which is clear, natural and easy to understand.

The Apocrypha audiobook comprises:

  • The romantic tales of Tobit and Judith
  • Two valuable books of history: 1 and 2 Maccabees
  • The Wisdom books of Ecclesiasticus, Wisdom of Solomon, Baruch, the Epistle of Jeremy and the Prayer of Manasses
  • The important Apocalyptic book of 2 Esdras
  • Plus additions to the canonical books of Ezra, Esther and Daniel.

Before you download it, be aware of what you are downloading. This doesn’t have Jasher, Enoch and a host of other books you’d find in the extensive Ethiopian cannon, but this is a great “core” Apocrypha.

This is a great reading of the Apocrypha

Some people were complaining that this collection did not include Sirach. however there are multiple names for this book. One being Ecclesiasticus, which us included in this collection. so sit back relax and enjoy this reading of wisdom from Scripture.

Sirach and Ecclesiasticus are the same book

I was expecting all of the Apocrypha books. I really wanted to listen to the book of Sirach.

Even so, the reader was great and the Apocrypha itself is very insightful.
