Since they weren't in the Hebrew canon, Jerome saw Maccabees and other books found in the Greek canon as a lesser, "deuterocanon" or apocrypha. Luther and other Protestants dusted off this idea, but for quite some time continued to print Bibles with the Apocrypha, save in a separate section rather than mixed in with the rest of the Old Testament. <br />--KephaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-75128826470416192812022-12-20T22:00:42.543-05:002022-12-20T22:00:42.543-05:00My college roommate is Jewish.
