You’ve probably heard of the Apocrypha (also called the Deuterocanonical Books), and have probably heard some opinions about it too. Here are some more.
Matt Whitman believes in God and thinks things are funny. He was raised in Fort Collins, Colorado before moving to Chicago where he graduated from Trinity College and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He met his wife Camilla on his first day of college in his first class. They’ve got three kids together and now live in the mountains of beautiful western Wyoming where Matt works as the Senior Pastor of the Lander Evangelical Free Church. Matt’s a teach-straight-through-books-of-the-Bible kind of guy and uses his appreciation of history, humor, culture, and narrative to help people understand God’s Word. In addition to church and family, Matt throws a lot of time at filmmaking. He writes, acts, and directs and also hosts a YouTube program called The Ten Minute Bible Hour in which he teaches books of the Bible in a tight, informative, and funny format.
Matt is the editor and co-author of the book Putting God in His Place: Exalting God in the iCulture published by Nextstep Resources. In addition to writing and film, he enjoys rock music, competitive team sports, and travel. Connect with him on Twitter @MattWhitmanTMBH.

I am no Scripture scholar, nor do I have the education you have had. But I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night. JK — I’ve been sick in bed for a week. 🙂 Over the summer some of your videos have come up after other videos I have been watching. Today I have been binge-watching some of your videos. I’ve been grooving with you, but am not certain that all of what you are saying is true in this video. My understanding is that many of the O.T. quotes of both Jesus and Paul are from the Septuagint. Additionally, many of the churches in the East have even more books than the Roman Catholic Church does. I appreciate your conclusion reminding us that Jesus is the focus.
