The non-canonical books referenced in the Bible includes non-Biblical cultures, and lost works of known or unknown status. By the "Bible" is meant those books recognised by most Christians and Jews as being part of Old Testament (or Tanakh) as well as those recognised by Christians alone as being part of the Biblical apocrypha or of the Deuterocanon.
It may also include books of the Anagignoskomena (Deuterocanonical books § Eastern Orthodoxy) that are accepted only by Eastern Orthodox Christians. For the purposes of this article, "referenced" can mean direct quotations, paraphrases, or allusions, which in some cases are known only because they have been identified as such by ancient writers, or the citation of a work or author.

Hebrew Bible
The following are mentioned in the Hebrew Bible:
- The Book of Jasher is mentioned in Joshua 10:13 and Samuel&verse=1:18&src=! 2 Samuel 1:18 and also referenced in Timothy&verse=3:8&src=! 2 Timothy 3:8.[1] From the context in the Book of Samuel, it is implied that it was a collection of poetry. Several books have claimed to be this lost text, some of which are discounted as pseudepigrapha. Certain members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints secured the copyright to a particular English translation of one of these and republished it in 1887 in Salt Lake City.[2]
- The Book of the Wars of the Lord[3] is mentioned in Numbers 21:14. It is speculatively associated with one of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the War of the Sons of Light Against the Sons of Darkness.[بحاجة لمصدر] The Book of the Wars of the Lord is also cited in the Book of Jasher (trans. Moses Samuel c. 1840, ed. J. H. Parry 1887) Chapter 90:48 as being a collaborative record written by Moses, Joshua and the children of Israel.
- The Chronicles of the Kings of Israel and Chronicles of the Kings of Judah are mentioned in the Books of Kings (Kings&verse=14:19,29&src=! 1 Kings 14:19,29).

New Testament
Mennonite scholar David Ewart has mentioned that Nestle's Greek New Testament lists some 132 New Testament passages that appear to be verbal allusions to paracanonical books.[19]
Pagan authors quoted or alluded to:[20][21]
- Menander, Thais 218 (Corinthians%2015:33&verse={{{3}}}&src=! 1 Corinthians 15:33 {{{3}}})
- Epimenides, de Oraculis, (Titus 1-12:13 {{{3}}}, where Paul introduces Epimenides as "a prophet of the Cretans," see Epimenides paradox)
- Aratus, Phaenomena 5, (Acts 17:28 {{{3}}}, where Paul refers to the words of "some of your own poets")
Non-canonical books quoted or alluded to:[20]
- Book of Enoch (Jude 1:4 {{{3}}}, {{{3}}}, {{{3}}}, {{{3}}}, Peter%202:4&verse={{{3}}}&src=! 2 Peter 2:4 {{{3}}}; peter%203:13&verse={{{3}}}&src=! {{{3}}},[22][23] and John 7:38 {{{3}}} [24]).
- Book of Jannes and Jambres, according to Origen (Timothy%203:8&verse={{{3}}}&src=! 2 Timothy 3:8 {{{3}}} "... as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses")
- Epistle to the Laodiceans (Colossians 4:16 {{{3}}} "read the epistle from Laodicea")
- Life of Adam and Eve (Corinthians%2011:14&verse={{{3}}}&src=! 2 Corinthians 11:14 {{{3}}} "Satan as an angel of light", corinthians%2012:2&verse={{{3}}}&src=! {{{3}}} "Third Heaven")[25]
- A lost section of the Assumption of Moses (Timothy%203:8&verse={{{3}}}&src=! 2 Timothy 3:8 {{{3}}}, Jude 9 "Michael.. body of Moses")
- Martyrdom of Isaiah (Hebrews 11:37 {{{3}}} "they were sawn in two")
- Paul's letter to the Corinthians before 1 Corinthians (Corinthians%205:9&verse={{{3}}}&src=! 1 Corinthians 5:9 {{{3}}} "I wrote to you in my letter...")
- Paul’s letter to the Ephesians before Ephesians (Ephesians 3:3 {{{3}}} “As I wrote afore in few words...”)
- An unknown messianic prophecy possibly from a non-canonical source, quoted in Matthew 2:23 that states "...he will be called a Nazorian." ("ὅτι Ναζωραῖος κληθήσεται"). "Nazorian" is typically rendered as "Nazarene" ("from Nazareth"), as in Acts 24:5 {{{3}}}, where Christians are referred to as "the sect of the Nazorians/Nazarenes" ("τῶν Ναζωραίων αἱρέσεως"). This is speculated[ممن؟] to be a vague allusion to a quote about Samson in Judges 13:5 that uses a similar-sounding word: "the child shall be a Nazirite" (ναζιρ)
- An unknown version of Genesis (possibly a targum, midrash or other commentary), quoted by Paul in Corinthians%2015:45&verse={{{3}}}&src=! 1 Corinthians 15:45 {{{3}}}, as a reference to Christ's being "the Last Adam who became a life-giving spirit" (οὕτως καὶ γέγραπται· Ἐγένετο ὁ πρῶτος ἄνθρωπος Ἀδὰμ εἰς ψυχὴν ζῶσαν· ὁ ἔσχατος Ἀδὰμ εἰς πνεῦμα ζῳοποιοῦν.). It has been speculated[ممن؟] that Paul is simply paraphrasing Genesis 2:7 {{{3}}}, but there is no clear indication that this is not a complete quote.
- An unknown text quoted by Paul in Corinthians%202:9&verse={{{3}}}&src=! 1 Corinthians 2:9 {{{3}}}, suggested by Origen to be a lost apocryphal book:[26] "But as it is written, 'No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love him." This may also be an allusion to the similar Isaiah 64:4 {{{3}}}, "For from days of old they have not heard or perceived by ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides You, Who acts in behalf of the one who waits for Him.'".[27]
- An unknown messianic prophecy, possibly from a non-canonical source, quoted in Luke 24:46 {{{3}}}, speculated to be a vague allusion to Hosea 6:2 {{{3}}}:[28] "Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day."
- An unknown messianic prophecy, possibly from a non-canonical source, quoted in Mark 9:12 {{{3}}}, speculated[ممن؟] to be a vague allusion to Isaiah 53: "and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought."
