A Key To The Old Testament And Apocrypha: Or Account Of The Several Books, Their Contents And Authorspresents a compact guide to the Old Testament and the Apocrypha, surveying each book’s period, likely authorship or inspiration, and its function within the canon. The editor foregrounds multiple authorities, openly marking uncertainties about dates, authorship, and canonicity, and records objections and counterarguments to help readers judge disputed points while frequently citing sources for further study. The work explains the development and transmission of biblical texts, including the Jewish 22-book canon, the roles of the Masora, the Samaritan Pentateuch, and the Septuagint, and how translations shaped Christian reception. It traces English Bible development from early versions through major reformers to the King James Version, and discusses the Pentateuch’s Mosaic authorship and its ceremonial, moral, and judicial laws. Across Minor Prophets, Apocrypha, and Ezra/Esdras, the text emphasizes chronology, authorship debates, canonicity variation, and themes of judgment, restoration, and messianic expectation, offering a critical metadata-guided portrait of the biblical tradition.
