ANTILEGOMENA (avnXeyo va, contradicted or disputed) , an epithet used by the early
Christian
  writers to denote those books of the New Testament which, although sometimes publicly read in the churches, were not for a considerable time admitted to be genuine, or received into the
canon
  of Scripture. They were thus contrasted with the Homologoumena, or universally acknowledged writings.

  (Hist. Ecci. iii. 25) appliesthe
term
 
Antilegomena
  to the Epistle of James, the Epistle of Jude, 2
Peter
 , 2 and 3 John, the Acts of
Paul
 , the Shepherd of Hermas, the Teaching of the Apostles, the
Apocalypse

Apocalypse
  of John, and the Epistle to the Hebrews.
