Author Description

One Sunday night in the Boot-hill of Missouri, after a night of preaching a young mother inquired if I ever heard of the book of Baruch. I answered yes, it is one of the so-called hidden books of the Bible, called the Apocrypha. I explained that they consisted of 15 books of Jewish history & superstition originally included and rooted into the Catholic Bible as canon scripture. But in reality, they were a library of Jewish literature and not inspired Holy Scripture. Having done a course on this subject pursuant to an online degree in Biblical Studies I felt it was time to include my feeble classroom attempt on the subject, and make the lesson available in this book form concluding these hidden books foreign to the Holy Scripture.
