Book: The Rest of the Bible, by Theron Mathis

Subtitled: A Guide to the Old Testament of the Early Church. 133 pages, Conciliar Press. An excellent guide to what St Athanasius called "the Readables" (Anagignoskomena), what the Catholics call the Deuterocanonicals, and what the Protestants call the Apocrypha. This book will motivate the reader to sink his or her teeth into the lesser read books of the Bible such as the fascinating book of Tobit--wherein Archangel Raphael makes an appearance, the book of Judith--a tale of a courageous beautiful widow who outsmarts the enemy and saves her people, and the amusing and instructive tale of Bel and the Dragon.
