le proscrit, comme le futur Testament

11:50 Apr 9, 2021 

If you keep reading the paragraph of the book, you understand this is about some questions being 'taboo' (le proscrit). The curé remained silent when as a child he asked about the universe etc. I think 'le proscrit' means they learnt that some things are "proscrit" (le proscrit is everything that is 'mis à l'index' by religion), including le 'futur Testament' if there is such a thing as the Future Testament, ie a Testament that talks about what is after the universe for instance (one of his questions as a child). So as a child he didn't study the future Testament, but that the future Testament belongs to "le proscrit" (I think the word 'comme' doesn't apply to parcourir, but to proscrit).

I agree with Nikki.
Question: Is 'le futur Testament' an existing text? This Jewish book? http://www.yhwh.com/the-future-testament.html
If so, is it a forbidden text for some faith groups? Forbidden because regarded as untrustworthy, non-canonical, untruthful, etc?
If yes, then maybe: "...forbidden texts such as the Future Testament, ..."
It's strange that the Apocrypha is not cited as an example of a forbidden text. The 17thC Westminster Confession of Faith "... excluded the Apocrypha from the canon. The Confession provided the rationale for the exclusion: 'The books commonly called Apocrypha, not being of divine inspiration, are no part of the canon of the Scripture, and therefore are of no authority in the church of God, nor to be any otherwise approved, or made use of, than other human writings'."

In the sense of excluded, banned..

May be meaning of "forbidden" will work here.
It is likely this is actually a reference to the Apocryha but as the French does not use the French term, then perhaps "forbidden texts/writings/scripts/scriptures" would work?

Sorry Phil - I didn't see that you'd already suggested the Apocrypha!

could be the apocrypha.

...you posted the term in French, and are requesting a translation/explanation in English.
