 | | However, two further books on the same subject are apocryphal, the first, which consists largely of material already found in the canonical books of 2 Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah, being called Esdras III (by Catholics), 1 Esdras (by Protestants), or Esdras Α' (by Greek Orthodox Christians, who put it before the canonical Ezra). |
| | Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches regard the apocrypha as canonical, and refer to them as "deuterocanonical" (literally, from the 'second canon'); their status as being 'second canon' does not mean they are viewed as being less divinely inspired, but is merely a recognition of the controversy which has ensued over them. |
| | The first known expressions of the developing concept of the Perpetual Virginity of Mary, are to be found, not in the canon, but in the pseudepigraphical Infancy Gospel of James. |
