How Are They Chosen?
And most of us were curious about exactly how the New Testament books were chosen. Generally speaking, the earliest writings about Jesus were included. However, the other documents were believed to be apocryphal, and some measures were taken to prevent it from reaching the public. And because these manuscripts were usually less preserved that the more legitimate ones, they typically existed today as incomplete documents.
Younger Years Of Jesus’ Life
However, there were still a lot of things that we can extract from the Apocrypha. For instance, the four official gospels that were included in the New Testament did not mention much about the life of Jesus during his younger years. Yet, the details of this period could be found in other writings not officially accepted by the Christian officials.
