==Question==
 
 
 
I've heard about "lost scripture" mentioned in the Bible.  What is this about, and what implications does it have for the doctrine of Biblical [[Biblical_inerrancy|inerrancy]] and [[Biblical_completeness|sufficiency]]?
 
 
 
==Answer==
 
 
 
So called "lost scripture" is in reference to writings mentioned or cited within the present Biblical record, but which are not in the Bible itself.  Some of these writings are known from other sources, and some are not.
