the seven books which comprise the protestant apocrypha, first published as such in luther's bible (1534) are considered canonical old testament books by the catholic church, affirmed by the council of rome (ad 382) and later reaffirmed by the council of trent; they are also considered canonical by the eastern orthodox church and are referred to as "anagignoskomena" per the synod of jerusalem. the anglican communion accepts "the apocrypha for instruction in life and manners, but not for the establishment of doctrine (article vi in the thirty-nine articles)", and many "lectionary readings in the book of common prayer are taken from the apocrypha", with these lessons being "read in the same ways as those from the old testament". the first methodist liturgical book, "the sunday service of the methodists", employs verses from the apocrypha, such as in the eucharistic liturgy. the protestant apocrypha contains three books (3 esdras, 4 esdras and the prayer of manasseh) that are accepted by many eastern orthodox churches and oriental orthodox churches as canonical, but are regarded as non-canonical by the catholic church and are therefore not included in modern catholic bibles.

all king james bibles published before 1666 included the apocrypha, though separately to denote them as not equal to scripture proper, as noted by jerome in the vulgate, to which he gave the name, "the apocrypha." in 1826, the national bible society of scotland petitioned the british and foreign bible society not to print the apocrypha, resulting in a decision that no bfbs funds were to pay for printing any apocryphal books anywhere. they reasoned that not printing the apocrypha within the bible would prove to be less costly to produce. since that time most modern editions of the bible and reprintings of the king james bible omit the apocrypha section. modern non-catholic reprintings of the clementine vulgate commonly omit the apocrypha section. many reprintings of older versions of the bible now omit the apocrypha and many newer translations and revisions have never included them at all.
