Protestants exclude the Apocrypha from te Bible, but its literary and cultural value cannot be dismissed. Concordia Publishing House is proud to publish the first and only ESV Edition of the Apocrypha with notes and annotations by Lutheran scholars.

This study Bible-style treatment of the Apocrypha is certain to be the most extensive, popular edition available; especially to those eager to study the unique Lutheran perspective on these books and the time between the testaments.
