Last time I checked Maccabees and assorted other books were in it.

Alas, virtually all Protestant bibles from the early 1900’s are without the Secand Canon.

Prior to WWI, most Lutheran Bibles has the Aprocrypha. My great uncle’s Bible from 1912 does.

During WWI, Wilson wanted to make the Lutheran’s Anglican
‘s. So that meant only the KJV, and a liturgy that was based on the book of common prayer.

When I was a kid in the 1980’s, we studied Maccabees in Sunday School and Confirmation class. One older woman would hand out the copies and say “Don’t tell anyone what you see here”.

There isn’t any major theology based on it.

I do find it funny that as the Catholic church spirals into a crisis over marriage and the split in the German churches, the attacks on Non Catholics increase.
