Modern pseudepigrapha

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Modern pseudepigrapha or modern apocrypha are terms sometimes used to refer to pseudepigrapha of recent origin – any book written in the style of the books of the Bible or other religious scriptures, and claiming to be of similar age, but written in a much later (modern) period. They differ from apocrypha, which are books from or shortly after the scriptural period but not accepted into the religion's canon.
