Authorship of Apocrypha
Who wrote the Apocrypha?
The short answer is “uninspired people.”
Unlike the prophets and apostles who wrote the books of the Bible (Ephesians 2:20) under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:21), the authors of the apocryphal books—unknown Jews—wrote at their own impulse and direction. Authorship is unknown or falsely attributed to well-known persons.
