Exactly what I was looking for
 This is a very good book for learning about ancient texts that didn’t make the Bible. It’s easy to find audio books and read along if that’s your thing. They didn’t pay me. I’m a history fan and I simply found this to be great reading.

Great educational book
This is the most complete book of apocrypha and other ancient religious texts in one place.It has a forward to each book describing its origin, time, and ideology.Be careful though, as some of these texts may be of a devine origin and simply omitted from the canon, there are others that are completely heretical.Many gnostic texts.This said, they can still give a very much clearer understanding of ancient times and religion.Highly recommend.
