New Testament - Apocrypha. Here is a list of the books in the New Testament Apocrypha and a partial list of the Pseudepigrapha.   New Testament Apocrypha   New Testament Pseudepigrapha (partial list) Acts of Paul and Thecla Acts of Andrew Apocalypse of Peter Acts of John Epistle of Pseudo-Barnabas Acts of Paul Epistle to Polycarp to the Philippians Acts of Peter Epistle to the Corinthians Acts of Thomas Epistle to the Laodiceans Apocalypse of Peter Didache, Teaching of the Twelve Apocalypse of Paul Gospel According to the Hebrews Apocalypse of Stephen Second Epistle of Clement Assumption of Thomas Seven Epistles of Ignatius Gospel of the Egyptians Shepherd of Hermas Gospel of the Nicodemus Gospel of Peter Gospel of Thomas Gospel of the Twelve Gospel of the Childhood Gospel of the Nativity of Mary Gospel of the Psuedo-Matthew Gospel of Joseph the Carpenter Epistle of Paul to the Laodiceans Letter Attributed to Our Lord Letter of Paul to Seneca Lost Epistle to the Corinthians History of Joseph the Carpenter The Passing of Mary        Apocrypha. The New Testament Apocrypha is a group of books, just like the Old Testament Apocrypha, that some in Christianity accept as inspired but most do not. The Shepherd of Hermas and the Didache are among the most popular. The Didache claims to be the teaching of the twelve apostles.      Pseudepigrapha. Just like the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, the New Testament Pseudepigrapha is a group of books that are rejected by all. Among the most interesting are the Gospel of the Childhood, Gospel of the Nativity of Mary, Gospel of the Psuedo-Matthew, History of Joseph the Carpenter, Acts of Thomas, and the Letter Attributed to Our Lord. These books were written by Gnostics and other religious/cultic writers.   Conclusion: The apocryphas are valuable to us as historical information. The Maccabees and the Didache are great examples of this. But the apocryphas should not be considered equal to the God of Word. The pseudepigraphas are interesting reading, but they are rejected by all as inspired by God.         < Back
