Step into the shadowed realm between heaven and earth with one of history's most enigmatic and forbidden texts.

This isn't just another religious text - it's a doorway into mysteries that religious authorities have kep...

The Book of Jubilees, or, as it is sometimes called, "the little Genesis," purports to be a revelation given by God to Moses through the medium of an angel, and containing a history, divided up into jubilee-periods of forty-nine years, from the creation to the coming of Moses.

THE object of this series of translations is primarily to furnish students with short, cheap, and handy text-books, which, it is hoped, will facilitate the study of the particular texts in class under competent teachers. But it is also hoped that the volumes will be acceptable to the general reader who may be interested in the subjects with which they deal. It has been thought advisable, as a general rule, to restrict the notes and comments to a small compass; more especially as, in most c...

In writing about the books which belong to this literature, Prof. Burkitt says very pointedly that "they are the most characteristic survival of what I will venture to call, with all its narrowness and its incoherence, the heroic age of Jewish history, the age when the nation a...

His translations and commentaries aimed to make these ancient texts more accessible and understandable to modern readers."The Book of Jubilees" gets its name ...

Book of Enoch is to the beginning of Earth as the Book of Revelations is to the End of times in the Holy Bible. It's wonderful content reveals more on who the "Sons of God" were. As mentioned in the Book of Genesis just before the great flood. It allowed me to realize a perspective in the verity on questions like, who these alien visitors were and why we do not have evidence of these visits. Also exposing the facts on who really built the pyramids. And gave man the knowledge responsible fo...

The following Sermons were preached in Westminster Abbey at various times during the past four years. They are not designed to expound any special system of Theology, though, of course, they presuppose one. Their object is mainly practical: yet their appeal is not to some limited province of man’s being but to the whole man as one who thinks and wills and feels and is a denizen of two worlds. The Sermons are, for the most part, independent studies, and, this being so, the same thought occa...
