Test Driving the Cover of the Lutheran Edition of the Apocrypha
August 19th, 2011
The general editor of the forthcoming Lutheran edition of the Apocrypha, Rev. Ed Engelbrecht, took the cover design of the book for a test drive recently. Here is an exciting action shot from the test drive. It does give you a good idea of the size of the book.

Cool! Can’t wait until it comes out.
This is fantastic! Very much looking forward to getting the book as soon as it gets into stores. Blessings!
Would it appear in the large print edition, too?
No, just regular print.
I would make sure that you inform people who, what, and when the Apocrypha are and that is is NOT and never were included as part of the Canon.
Luther thought that the Apocrypha should not be thought of part of Divine Scripture but only books that we could learn from.
Roxanne, please read what has been posted previously on this blog site about the Apocrypha, you can find it by using the search box. Much good information that I’m sure you will find it helpful.
I can only hope that soon we’ll have the Apocrypha in the same volume with the other 66 books. Then we will have ‘caught up’ with where the publishing of sacred scriptures was for the first 1950ish years of Christianity. ( or did God inspire a list of books w/ CPH, or Zondervan??)
When we do that, we’ll also have little wheels and a handle put on The Lutheran Study Bible.
Strange how our Lutheran predecessors had no problem with having the Apocrypha included in their German bibles, and these days a lot of Lutherans freak out at the idea of having the Apocrypha published as a separate volume.

So, what we REALLY have here … is a photo of a man looking intently at a BLANK book?
This is an excellent addition to the many other books CPH publishes that are “good and helpful to read”. One might say the original list of books that are good and helpful to read.
Speaking of lists, I’m wondering which list of Apocrypha the volume follows, the one common in Western Bibles the RCC considers deutero-canonical, or are the various other writings various EO bodies variously consider canonical too in there also?
Paul,
I was sampling TLSB on my Kindle. Any suggestions on reading the maps/charts at a larger size?
I don’t think the Kindle device allows you to magnify graphics. When I look at it on my iPad or iPhone I can enlarge it but it is not a super high res file.
