• Anagignoskomena — A theological term used in the Eastern Orthodox Christian tradition to designate biblical books that are 'good for reading' (known in the West as deuterocanonical, or apocrypha in a Protestant sense), which are not part of the strict Hebrew canon of the Old Testament but are structurally preserved in the Bible due to their outstanding moral, historical, and didactic value. These writings are recommended for the edification of the faithful, although they are not used as a primary dogmatic basis for formulating core doctrines.
• Apocryphal — Falsely attributed to a certain author, era, or official source; lacking authenticity, of doubtful character, or unacknowledged by a competent authority. In an ecclesiastical context, the term denotes religious writings that were not included in the official biblical canon, despite addressing sacred events or characters.
• Arel — A mystical or literary term of Hebrew origin, utilized in early esoteric and kabbalistic texts to denote an angel of fire, a superior angelic entity associated with pure light, or powerful spirits governing the elements of nature. In a structural and symbolic sense, the word refers to the concept of invincible celestial power and divine protection, sporadically integrated into medieval religious or apocryphal literature.
