Apocrypha-KJV by

ian_'s review

Intriguing and edifying. I enjoyed this a lot more than I had expected. It was cool to see how the second temple-period Jews interpreted and applied Hebrew biblical wisdom, and also the many ways these books would have influenced the New Testament writers. It's similarly interesting to examine the historical source of many Roman Catholic or Orthodox doctrines such as prayers for the dead, purgatory, indulgences, intercession of the saints, etc. and read them in that context. But sola scriptura :)

djoshuva's review against another edition

But you offer me, the sinner,
the chance to change my heart and life,
because my sins outnumbered
the grains of sand by the sea.
My sins are many, Lord; they are many.
I am not worthy to look up,
to gaze into heaven
because of my many sins.
