Apocrypha: A group of Old Testament books, hidden (apocrypha means "hidden") from public view. Many of these books were included in the Septuagint and Vulgate (and thus in Orthodox and Roman Catholic editions), but excluded from the Masoretic Text (and thus from Jewish and Protestant editions).
apostolicity: Whether or not a particular early church document was considered to have been written by an apostle.
autograph: The original manuscript of an ancient document; the copy penned by the author or scribe who first wrote the document.
“The NLT second edition communicates the truth of the Gospel in a clear, understandable way that can help bring spiritual seeking people across the line of faith.”
