The Apocryphal Gospels, what is it?

#history  

Also known as the extra-canonical ones, they consist of the books or writings that emerged in the first centuries of Christianity around the figure of Jesus of Nazareth, and which did not come to be included or accepted in the canon of the Jewish Tanach of the Hebrew-Aramaic, of the Bible of the Septuagint Israelites of Greek origin.

Nor would it be so in any of the versions of the Bible that are used by the various groups of Christians.
The Catholic Church

The Orthodox Church

The Anglican Communion
Evangelical or Protestant Christian Churches.

Among these writings are those that are the Nag Hammadi Manuscripts. The apocryphal term from the Greek: α, which means “far” and “hidden”, which originally usually means “hide far away”, and after deriving into “hidden”, “dark”, has been used throughout the times in history to make reference to certain collections of texts and also religious writings sacred ones that have arisen and emanated in Jewish or Christian contexts.
