The word 'apocrypha' means 'hidden writings' and comes from the Greek through Latin. It is a roundabout way of referring to books which were not included in the canon of The Bible.
The New Testament Acts of the Apostles was probably the first book to be written in the Acts genre, but there were several others, most of which were also written in the second century:
- Acts of Andrew
- Acts of Barnabas
- Acts of John
- Acts of the Martyrs
- Acts of Paul
- Acts of Paul and Thecla
- Acts of Peter
- Acts of Peter and Andrew
- Acts of Peter and Paul
- Acts of Peter and the Twelve
- Acts of Philip
- Acts of Pilate
- Acts of Thomas
- Acts of Xanthippe, Polyxena, and Rebecca
