apexviper13 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 We've been instructed in YSA to read D&C this semester and I came across D&C 91, which talks about the Apocrypha, and have a question. Is it referring to the Apocrypha from the Protestants or the deuterocanonical Apocrypha of the Catholic Church? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzie Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Joseph Smith was making revisions of the Bible at that time. His bible contained the Apocrypha and that's why he asked the Lord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rameumptom Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Most LDS scholars also use this section to apply to all non-Biblical ancient Jewish/Christian texts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JThimm88 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Woah, "Protestant Apocrypha"??? What is that? I was Protestant before joining the Church, but only knew that Catholics had one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiJolly Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I think it was limited to the KJV apocrypha. HiJolly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bytebear Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 The church uses the King James Version of the Bible for English. I imagine on other languages they use a similar one. I can't imagine different languages having different books. So, anything not in the KJV is apocrypha. And I understood it to be the books in the Catholic Bible as well. I have the LDS published edition, as well as a Catholic bible. I also have a Dead Sea Scrolls translation, but haven't even begun to study it.
