Deuterocanonical biblical books, literally "part of the second canon," are part of the Old Testament for the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the Oriental Orthodox and Assyrian Churches, but treated by Jewish and most Protestant faiths as apocrypha.
These books were written for the most part between 200 BC and AD 70, but some are slightly older.
They were part of the Septuagint, which the disciples of Jesus used.
Particularly strong statements about life in the womb are contained in the deuterocanonical books. See abortion and the Bible.
