The Book of Jubilees

By R.H. Charles and Anonymous

Book Overview

The Book of Jubilees -- also known as The Little Genesis -- purports to be a divine revelation delivered by an angel from God to Moses during the prophet's sojourn on Mount Sinai. Chiefly based upon the historical narratives in Genesis and Exodus, the book probably originated as a Jewish apocalyptical work. It also contains a fascinating variety of material not found in the Bible, including details concerning the Fall, Cain and Abel, angels, the Flood, the Tower of Babel, Jacob's visions, the Messianic Kingdom, and many other subjects.
Well known to early Christian writers of East and West alike, these writings entered into no canons except those of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. They remain a popular source for the construction of "alternative histories," particularly those relating to the early Christian church. This inexpensive new edition features an Introduction by historian G. H. Box.

Excellent Biblical Writing

Don't read another book till you have feasted on this masterpiece. Truly one of the most beautiful books of biblical literature ever. Please, just read it. You won't be disappointed.

Filla in all the holes in The Old Testament! Beautiful

I liked the fact tjat it describes the day of Noah in detail

Interesting!

I like reading extra biblical literature. I never take offense to it, well, no more than I would the Left Behind Series... If you take it with a grain of salt, it's a good read. Definitely not for those that like getting their knickers in a twist over religious beliefs... Just take it as what it is & you'll get some kind of enjoyment out of it!
