Question: when was the apocrypha removed from the bible
Answer: '' Later , during the English Civil War , the Westminster Confession of 1647 excluded the Apocrypha from the canon and made no recommendation of the Apocrypha above `` other human writings '' , and this attitude towards the Apocrypha is represented by the decision of the British and Foreign Bible Society in the early 19th century not to print it ( see below ) .
