Exclusion of Religious Texts

•

THREAD. 👇🏽 Many religious books were excluded by the Church in the 18th and 19th centuries because their content was considered controversial and did not align with Jesus' teachings. @maa_bhaishiiH #BannedBooksOfBible #HVthread ++

There are two main types of Christian texts, both those included and excluded from the Bible: Apocryphal and Pseudepigraphal. The term "Apocrypha" means "hidden." On the other hand, "pseudepigrapha" refers to texts that falsely claim authorship. #BannedBooksOfBible ++
