Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the Apocryphal books are not accepted by all Jews and Christians as divinely inspired.

The Apocryphal writings differ and ideas and practices than the Holy Scripture followed by traditions of Lutheran, Anglican and Protestant Christians. That is why, while they are accepted as canon by Catholics and Orthodox Christians, Lutheran, Anglican and Protestant Christians do not see them as canonical books. If the scriptures are not taken as canon they are not considered to be inspired by God.

Additionally, Judaism has never seen the Apocryphal books as part of the Hebrew canon.
