What are the lost books written and not put in the Bible by Constantine?

Answer 1

If a book is lost, most likely it couldn't be included in Scripture or was decided not to be 'inspired' by God to be included. There are some writings called the 'Apocrypha' which are in some versions of the Scripture - particularly the Catholic Bible.

Catholic AnswerConstantine had nothing to do with putting together the Bible. The Old Testament as we have it today is a translation of the Septuagint which was the Greek Bible used by Jesus and most other Jews at that time. The New Testament was put together by the Pope and the Council of Rome at the end of the fifth century. What protestants call the "apocrypha" is actually the deuterocanon of the Old Testament. There is a deuterocanon of the New Testament and it is accepted by them, just not the Old Testament. Deuterocanonical books are just as much the canon as the protocanonical books. The apocrypha are the uninspired books, and they are not in the Bible.
