Apocrypha:-

Apocrypha are writings or statements of doubtful authorship or authenticity. In Christianity, the word apocryphal (πόκρυφος) was first applied to writings which were to be read privately rather than in the public context of church servicesedifying Christian works which were not considered canonical Scripture. In the wake of the Protestant Reformation, the word apocrypha came to mean "false, spurious, bad, or heretical".

From a Protestant point of view, Biblical apocrypha are a set of texts included in the Septuagint and the Latin Vulgate, but not in the Hebrew Bible. While Catholic tradition considers some of these texts to be deuterocanonical, and the Orthodox Churches consider them all to be canonical, Protestants consider them apocryphal, that is, non-canonical books.
