What books in the Bible are dubious?

Answer 1

A:

If by 'dubious' you mean books that were written as historical novels, this would be the Books of Esther and Daniel, as historians say that these books were actually written in the second century BCE about an earlier period and, where they refer to actual persons or events, are entirely inconsistent with the historical record as we now know it.

If by 'dubious' you mean books about which the early Church Fathers were in dispute as to whether they should be included, the list particularly includes 2 Peter and Revelation.

Protestants believe that some books found only in the Catholic Bible are also dubious. Of course there are grounds for considering other books of The Bible to be dubious, but this depends on your definition of the term.
