3. Authentic. An authentic book is one whose contents are truthful. Genuineness
has to do primarily with authorship, and authenticity with the truthfulness of
the contents. It is thus conceivable that a book could have been written by its

therefore not authentic. Or the converse might occur, where the writing is
spurious but its contents authentic. Of course, it is claimed for the canonical
books that they are both genuine and authentic.
