Notes

Abstract:
Work of the British and Foreign Bible Society - general demand for inclusion of Apocrypha ( en )
General Note:
This document is dated 1825 August 5
General Note:
The Apocrypha controversy of the 1820s was a debate around the British and Foreign Bible Society, and the issue of the inclusion of the Apocrypha in Bibles it printed for missionary work. The Society did include the Apocrypha in Bibles for use in continental Europe, where it was normal for Protestant as well as Catholic readers to have the texts of the Apocrypha. The British and Foreign Bible Society had in fact dropped the Apocrypha from its bibles published in English in 1804. In 1821, a campain began against all Bibles with the Apocrypha and their printing with funds raised from British sources.
