This is an eccentric publications which has grown to include a considerable following (Google it) and has earned a place in the Logos library. It provides an inexpensive way to gain some familiarity with the literature surrounding the western canon.

Just like the 'old' days - you suggest a book and I pick it up. [When am I going to learn to stop reading your posts?[;)] ]

Now if only I could get Logos to do so ...

Another great book we should have, thank you Martha, you're a step ahead of most of us. You must read the best things because I always come across you recommending the same things I want.

I didn't know that Acts 29 is considered to be part of any canon. Can anyone tell me which Church's canon includes it?

Some very small sects, usually of some esoteric-bent, appear to use it but I know of no major canon that uses it; it is not even common in the extensions of Progressive Christianity extended canons. I see it most commonly classified as modern pseudepigrapha of which a single manuscript is attested.
But then again I only recently discovered that the Copts still use 1 & 2 Clement as scripture.

Thanks MJ, this backs up my own understanding. I can see why Lumpkin would include Psalm 151 given its status within the Eastern Orthodox and Coptic (and other) canons but I'm surprised at the inclusion of Acts 29 which, as far as I'm aware, not even British Israelites consider inspired.
Despite my puzzlement regarding its inclusion in a "Universal Bible" it would be nonetheless good to have it my Logos library. I don't have Sonnini's Acts 29 among my many apocryphal and pseudepigraphic texts.

I was also a bit puzzled about the forty books in the Old Testament. I assume that this is simply a counting error rather than evidence of an invisible secret "2 Zechariah" [:D]

And included a number 40, hence the potential indication of an invisible secret book between Zechariah and Malachi, heehee [:D]
