The Books of Enoch | Free Book
A collection of three key "lost" books of the bible, offering
insight into the origins of early Christianity.
In the early days of the Christian faith there were
many writings, only some of which became part of the canonical
Bible. But what of the other books, known as apocryphal
texts...which of those are worth reading? One of the most
influential and well-known of these apocryphal texts is The Books of
Enoch, a collection of three ancient Hebrew texts that contain
teachings about angels, demons, the great flood, as well as mystical
prophecies.
This collection also includes two other
important apocryphal books. The Book of Jasher, meaning “upright” or
“righteous” describes the world’s creation up until Moses’ death and
is referenced throughout the Hebrew bible. The Book of Jubilees is
an ancient Jewish religious text that offers a retelling of the
books of Genesis and Exodus.
Compiled together for
modern readers, these three apocryphal texts offer insight into the
origins of early Christianity. Readers will discover new details,
narratives, and perspectives that will interest, and even challenge,
modern readers. Together, these books provide a historical framework
for readers interested in expanding their knowledge of biblical
heritage.
