What is apocryphal writing?

In: The Difference Between [Edit categories]

Answer:

In a general sense, apocryphal writings are of questionable authenticity. The root of the word is the Greek word for hidden. For example, the story of George Washington cutting down the cherry tree, is apocryphal in that it probably didn't happen. Some books of Christianity are apocryphal because the general church did not accept them for one reason or another into the Biblical collection.
