This is a facsimile edition of the NRSV Study Apocrypha featuring annotations from biblical scholar Howard Clark Kee and first published by Cambridge in 1994.

As a translation, the NRSV benefits from twentieth-century advances in linguistic and archaeological scholarship, for example, the Dead Sea Scrolls. The NRSV Apocrypha comprise all the deuterocanonical texts approved by the Protestant, Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches. Professor Kee's work includes introductions to every individual book as well as to the Apocrypha as a whole, shedding new light on the 'hidden texts' of the world of the Bible.
