When were the Apocrypha taken out of the bible?

Answer 1

The Apocrypha, a collection of texts included in some versions of The Bible, was removed from the Protestant Bible during the Reformation in the 16th century. Key figures like Martin Luther argued against their inclusion based on their lack of Hebrew origins and disputed theological content. While the Roman Catholic Church retained the Apocrypha in the Douay-Rheims Bible, most Protestant denominations adopted the 39-book canon, excluding these texts. The decision solidified with the publication of the King James Version in 1611, which did not include the Apocryphal books.
