Should the Apocrypha Be A Part of Scripture? | Ep. 21

In this episode of the Wisdom’s Way podcast, Dr. Tim Pollock explores the origin, history, and authority of the Apocryphal books often found in Roman Catholic Bibles. He explains what the Apocrypha is, how these writings became associated with certain Bible translations, and why they are not recognized as inspired Scripture by evangelical Christians.Looking at historical evidence, the testimony of early church leaders, and key biblical principles, this episode highlights that the Apocrypha was not part of the Hebrew Scriptures, was never quoted as Scripture in the New Testament, and contains teachings that conflict with the gospel of grace. While acknowledging their historical value, Dr. Pollock emphasizes the importance of holding to the established biblical canon and keeping the focus on the central message of the Bible—the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.Wisdom's Way is a production of The Home Church in Lodi, CAwww.wisdomsway.orgwww.thehomechurch.netwww.timpollock.orgIf you'd like Dr. Tim to answer a question you have, email us at [email protected]
