Apocrypha refers to texts that are not considered part of the canonical scriptures by certain religious groups. Examples include the Gospel of Thomas, which presents teachings attributed to Jesus, and the Book of Enoch, an ancient Jewish text describing the fall of angels and the nature of heaven. Other notable examples are the Acts of Paul and Thecla, and the Shepherd of Hermas, both of which offer insights into early Christian beliefs and practices. These texts are often valued for their historical and theological perspectives, despite their non-canonical status.
Some people believe the works known as "the Apocrypha" are not genuine.

Martin Luther, the famous reformer, translated the Apocrypha. I recall having heard that he didn't find the Apocrypha an important source of dogma, but recommended studying them.However, the Apocrypha like Maccabees aren't a source of dogma for the Lutherans, and they aren't spoken of in sermons etc.Apocrypha are those books and stories which were not accepted into the Christian protestant Bible (although some of these were included in the Catholic bible, such as Esdras I and II, for example).
