Q. 35 | What are the Apocrypha?

Update: 2024-08-14

Description

How do the Apocryphal books relate to Scripture? Why do we, as Anglicans, read them? How can the stories contained in these books inspire and encourage our faith? Join Fr. Claude & Fr. Blake as they discuss these questions and more as they continue a discussion of the ACNA's "To Be a Christian: An Anglican Catechism".

If you’re curious about diving into the Apocrypha, we recommend starting in Judith, the Wisdom of Solomon, and 1-2 Maccabees.

"To Be a Christian" is a co-production of Church of the Holy Cross in Crozet, VA and Church of the Resurrection in Charlottesville, VA.
