Vindications (about BFBS) of the Proceedings of the Bible Society Concerning the Apocrypha

Book cover
The British and Foreign Bible Society, was formed and funded by Evangelical Churches, to help and encourage others with the words of Jesus. But they found themselves disturbed by an increasing tendency within the BFBS to depart from its mandate, and to include books in the Bibles published by BFBS, that the funders had not authorized. This caused several challenges. The Edinburgh Bible SOciety wrote to express its concern. The issues of the printing of the Apocrypha has been somewhat addressed by Evangelicals in the following works: Review of the conduct of the directors of the British and Foreign Bible Society relative to the Apocrypha and to their administration which can be found at: http://www.archive.org/details/reviewofconducto00haldrich The Edinburgh Bible Society had previously issued: A Plea for the [Inspiration and] Canon of Scripture which can be found at: http://www.archive.org/details/APleaForTheinspirationAndCanonOfScriptureBibleByTheBible And they had followed up this with the publication of Statement of the Bible Society concerning the Apocrypha http://www.archive.org/details/StatementOfTheBibleSocietyConcerningTheApocrypha Finally, they did write their "vindication" to express the facts concerning the conduct of the managers of the BFBS. What had upset many was that most supporters understood themselves to be supporting the translation of the Traditional historic books of the Bible. But the BFBS had, in foreign versions, decided to insert other books as well, even though the supporters at home (In England, Wales, and Scotland among others), were not informed of this. Other material on the topic can be found under the search " apocrypha bible society".
