The Books of Enoch, Jasher, and Jubilees: Complete Edition Reprint

6r Paper cover reprint. 

Notes

Three key "lost" books of the Bible—attributed to Noah’s great-grandfather, this complex anthology bridges the gap between the Old and New Testaments, providing a vital theological framework for the nascent Christian movement. The texts expand drastically upon the cryptic Genesis narrative of the "Sons of God" (the Watchers) who descended to Earth, introduced forbidden celestial knowledge to humanity, and fathered the monstrous Nephilim. More importantly for biblical historians, Enoch introduces a highly developed apocalyptic worldview, pioneering vivid concepts of an imminent final judgment, a cosmic war between light and darkness, the geography of Hell, and a divine messianic figure known as the "Son of Man." Though excluded from the canonical Hebrew Bible and the vast majority of mainstream Christian canons, its profound legacy is undeniably woven into the New Testament—explicitly quoted in the Epistle of Jude—and it continues to survive in its entirety within the sacred liturgy of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
