Positive Assessment of the Apocrypha by Roy A. Welker (LDS)

  

The Apocrypha

 

Is a group of writings which partially bridges the gap between the Old Testament and the New Testament. They have not been accepted as part of the Old Testament by either Protestants or Latter-day Saints. They do have much of historical and religious interest. (Roy A. Welker, Spiritual Values of the Old Testament: M Man-Gleaner Course of Study 1961-62 [Salt Lake City: L.D.S. Department of Education, 1961], 18, emphasis in bold added)
