The Apocryphia are books that are not included in the Protestant Bible but are inlcuded in the Roman Catholic version. Go here for a brief into

For some more detail try the Catholic Encyclopedia

There is an online version at (scroll to the bottom)

used to have a well written article on who (historically) wrote the Bible, but I can't seem to find the colum now...maybe you will have better luck; it might talk about the Apocryphia.

As far as your other questions, some people (mostly nutjobs) think that the Book of Revelation is a prophecy about the end of the word. There are other demons (some of whom are) mentioned in the Bible and who are part of Christian folklore. I found this site

which seems to have some interesting reading.

Good luck, Sweedy
