# QUESTION: Is there is evidence that the apocryphal books were not originally recognized as part of the inspired Scriptures?
SECULAR HISTORY
Firstly, it should be noted that The Greek Septuagint Version was originally produced without the Apocrypha
Josephus wrote: “There are not with us myriads of books, discordant and discrepant, but only two and twenty [the equivalent of the thirty-nine books of the Hebrew Scriptures according to modern division], comprising the history of all time, which are justly accredited. ... From the time of Artaxerxes up to our own everything has been recorded, but the records have not been accounted equally worthy of credit with those written before them, because the exact succession of prophets ceased.”—, Against Apion, Book I, par. 8 (according to the translation in The Interpreter’s Dictionary of the Bible, Vol. 1, p. 163)
Philo did not recognized any of the books of the Apocrypha as inspired.
BIBLICAL TESTIMONY
Jesus and the First century bible writers deliberately avoided the Apocryphal books. The account of Jesus Christ has im quoted or referring to over half of the books of the Hebrew scriptures without once making a single reference to the so called apocryphal books and not one of the Christian Bible writers ever quoted from the Apocrypha, although they doubtless used the Septuagint, which in their day contained the Apocrypha, thus indicating deliberate design.
BIBLE SCHOLARS
“All apocrypha books should be avoided; . . . they are not the works of authors by whose names they are distinguished, [for] they contain much that is faulty, and . . . ”—McClintock & Strong’s Cyclopædia, Vol. 1, p. 290. -- Jeromes correspondenc to Lœta
“Thus there are twenty-two books . . . This prologue of the Scriptures can serve as a fortified approach to all the books which we translate from the Hebrew into Latin; so that we may know that whatever is beyond these must be put in the apocrypha" - Jerome, Prologus Galeatus (Vulgate)
