The Intercanonical
Books of the Bible

Not merely “extra” books.
Part of the Bible’s received history.
Protestants commonly meet many of them as the Apocrypha. Catholics know the broadly received core as the Deuterocanon. Orthodox Christians preserve overlapping collections among the Anagignoskomena—the books appointed to be read.
Intercanonical names the larger territory: books located between differing Christian canons, read as Scripture in some churches, valued as ancient witnesses in others, and too important to disappear between modern Bible covers.
