What Is the Apocrypha?
The Apocrypha is a collection of writings found in the Septuagint and the Latin Vulgate but not included in the Hebrew canon of Scripture and not accepted by Protestants as inspired writings. The Roman Catholic church accepts some of these writings as inspired, but not on the same level as the other books of the Old and New Testament.
They were written between 200 B.C. and A.D. 200. There is some interesting historical material in some of these books, but they do not have the same level of authenticity as do the inspired writings of the apostles and prophets.
