Read This: Apocrypha & Pseudepigrapha

Both the Old and New testaments of the bible have undergone a number of edits and revisions over the millennia. The Internet Sacred Texts Archive has a couple collection of these.

Edited by Rutherford H. Platt, Jr. in 1926, these books are both interesting and historically important. The New Testament Apocrypha were very popular in the early years of Christianity, but ultimately didn't make the grade as biblical canon.

The Old Testament Pseudepigrapha "The Forgotten Books of Eden" expands on the early years of man's existence, according to the early Jews. Interesting reading, but it's not clear to me the differences that make these works not worthy of inclusion in the Bible or even the official Apocrypha.

Photoblog Friday

An Australian tumblr blog this week. A Problem Shared has an interesting and different mix of photos, but isn't terribly prolific. This makes it great for a quick fix of great images. Enjoy!

Comic Tuesday

A Girl and Her Fed is the story of a nameless Girl who finds that she is being watched by government agents. She and the Fed assigned to watch her form a partnership and attempt to untangle one hell of a knotty conspiracy. Oh, and did I mention that most of the characters have invisible (to others), annoying (to them) sidekicks? It's a great comic, more so because it doesn't flesh out details, just gets on with the action and angst. Start here, and plan on spending some time. Enjoy!
