For centuries, the Bible has been regarded as the final word, the infallible guide to faith, history, and divine truth. But this final version we know as canon may not be so final, after all. There once were books that were read aloud in the churches, revered by ancient believers, and passed around from hand to hand. These are the forgotten books of the Bible. And many of them weren’t removed because they were false—but because they were too powerful, too mystical, too disruptive.
Here are seven of the most important banned books, and the secrets they held that may have led to their disappearance.
