There are those that cling to a singular view of all things biblical. If it is not in the King James Bible exactly the way he had it translated, it is a fake, a forgery, or an insidious plot by Satan to corrupt the minds of men. Those works referenced here are not mentioned in the Bible but are associated with it. All, of course, are controversial to some, but authenticity is an individual decision. Anything else is, in any case, intellectual censorship. It should be noted that the references linked in this section are random and individual research must be done on all the books.
Really, it’s a “partial list”, as we have compiled a list of over 500 books that have been associated with the Bible either through archeological research or historical documentation, but not all are found here due to certain limitations (Vatican secrecy, MS script censorship, lost manuscripts, early-church book burnings, etc). There is no guarantee that the books listed here are inspired works, or genuine books actually included in original versions of writings used by, and considered true by the Early Christian Church. We do not list any books believed to be written after the corruption of doctrine by the Universal Church established by the Emperor Constantine in the Fourth Century AD.
We would appreciate any additions to this list, links to un-linked books, or verifiable documentation on the authenticity, or lack thereof, of any book listed here from our readers.
