In The Use of the Apocrypha in the Christian Church, William Heaford Daubney argues that “the other books,” the apocryphal books, have far too long been neglected and that they deserve a more prominent place in everyday church worship. Daubney draws attention to their value in gaining a deeper understanding of the New Testament, the use made of them by the early Christian writers and by ancient Councils, their use during the Reformation, their influence on the Book of Common Prayer, and more.
