Those books are included in the King James Version. I have them in
front of me as I write, in my own King James Version. They are
relegated to an appendix entitled "The Apocrypha", according to the
view expressed in Article VI of the 39 Articles of the Church of
England. That view is a perfectly coherent one, and was, as the
Article correctly maintains, the view of St Jerome. It was a perfectly
acceptable one in the Catholic Church before the Council of Trent
defined the other books as canonical. It is not a compromise; the
books are in perfectly normal use.
Bill.
