    :
    (adj.): Of the second canon. A designation often used by Catholics to refer to seven books of the Old Testament not recognized as canonincal by Protestants and modern- day Jews but which have always been recognized as inspired Scripture by the Catholic Church. Because Protestants doubt their status as inspired, Protestants refer to these books as “the apocrypha” or “apocraphycal books.” These books are Tobit, Judith, Sirach, Wisdom, Baruch, and 1 and 2 Maccabees, as well as additional parts of Esther and Daniel.
