Extra-Biblical Works Named in the Bible

This list includes anything written by God's people that is mentioned in the Bible, but not included in the Biblical canon. It might not be complete. Many other extra-biblical works are quoted in the Bible, but not named, and I have not attempted to include those here. Inclusion doesn't imply anything at all about the inspiration or authority of any works on the list.
