The number of books in the Bible depends on which Bible is being referenced. Protestant and Catholic churches recognize 27 New Testament books. Protestants recognize 39 books of the Jewish canon in the Old Testament. Roman Catholics hold 46 books of the Old Testament as canon, along with expanded versions of Esther and Daniel.

In addition to the 73 books of the Catholic Bible, the Orthodox Church adds three more books to their canon. By far, the largest canon of all is found in the Ethiopic Church, whose Bible totals 81 books.

This Apocryphal volume contains the books of the Catholic, Orthodox, and Ethiopic Bibles, which include:

  • 1 Esdras
  • 2 Esdras
  • 1 Maccabees
  • 2 Maccabees
  • 3 Maccabees

I did not like the narrator. Christopher Glenn is much better. I just didn't enjoy the story.

Good narration. The navigation of the read was clunky. Please add a pdf that outlines what each chapter
contains. Bonus points for time references for easier navigation.


Actually loved the summary at the end of the book, but
Found I really wanted that information at the start of each book, rather than receive it at the end.

Although not conical, it is a great source. and has a good collection with pleasant negation

Unfortunately, this Audible lists chapters as Chapter 1, 2 etc, but because of the content, they REALLY need to put the book titles in with the chapter numbers. As it is now, finding books is a mess.

Needs Titles

The various books in this compilation are just designated as numerical chapters rather than Nominally Titled

I was intrigued and educated by the reading of the books. The details and historical information were interesting!

A Blessing

The main complaint here is the narration. Jarring pauses as the narrator struggles to muddle through names of people and places are distracting and the narrator sounds like he has major sinus issues. I’d return this if I could.

Fine collection ruined by terrible narration

the main issues with this copy of the apocrypha is that the books arnt labeled in the table of contents. these are separate documents, they should be labeled. instead wr have Chapter 1, which goes jo for the whole book, then chapter 2,which goes on for that book. we don't know which book is which. because of this I would not recommend this as you can't listen to maccabies without consulting a paper copy nor Enoch unless you already know what you are reading.

the books themselves arnt the issue here
