About this app

The Lost Books of the Bible by Rutherford H. Platt, Jr., 1926
with King James Bible

Lost Books of the Bible is a collection of New Testament Apocrypha, including many works which were admired and read by the early Christians, but which were later excluded from the canonical Bible. It includes accounts of the young Jesus, particularly the Gospel of Mary and the Protevangelion, which provides additional folklore about the birth and youthful adventures of Jesus and which are missing now. Of note are the letters of Paul and Seneca, and the letters of Herod and Pilate, which are most likely a forgery, but add more depth to the question of the historicity of Jesus. There are also a number of non-canonical epistles, such as Laodiceans. Also worth a close read are the three books of the Shepherd of Hermas, which uses apocalyptic and symbolic imagery. This collection is an invaluable selection of portions of the New Testament which illustrates the fluid nature of the early Biblical canon, and provides access to all of the 'spare parts.'

Ratings and reviews

As soon as I opened the Introduction to one of the books, I tried to read it, but the first letter in each line of words is off-screen, so I have to stare at each of those words until I figure out what the words are. Also, the screen doesn't zoom in or zoom out, so I can't see the word's first letters that way either. I doubt you'll ever fix it, so that makes this whole app worthless!

No! Uninstalled! There are better Lost Books apps. This is bloated with ads so much that I can't even access the back button to get out of the *&@%*! app.

Can't read it. It's hard to get out of need to be able to size the words needs a out button
