10 Books Not Included in the New Testament - Listverse

The New Testament of the Christian bible is one of the most influential works of the last two millennia. As the key work of the largest religion in the western world it has shaped our world in many subtle ways. But the list of 27 books we know today as The New Testament came together gradually through a series councils and general usage until the 27 books became the standard for most of Christianity. This list is about 10 of the most interesting books not included in The New Testament. Some were excluded for obvious reasons, some likely never had wide readership until found in an obscure library thousands of years later and some just barely missed the cut to being included. One probably never even existed. We know so little about the creation of the new testament that I cannot tell you why each book was not included in The New Testament, only what makes them interesting. This list is not aimed to validate or discredit the value of any particular book but to provide some context to the creation of The New Testament. *Because The New Testament is a result of the Orthodox opinion of the time I have chosen to exclude Gnostic texts from this list.
