The Complete Apocrypha: 2018 Edition with Enoch, Jasher, and Jubilees

by Anonymous

THE NEW, LITERAL, EASY-TO-READ, DEFINITIVE COLLECTION OF CHRISTIAN APOCRYPHAL
***NOW WITH IMPROVED FONT SIZE, BOOK INTROS, AND BOOK HEADERS ON EVERY PAGE***





This is the only modern translation of the complete collection of deuterocanonical books known popularly as "The Apocrypha" that also includes Enoch, Jasher, and Jubilees. Aside from Jasher, they were included as secondary works in the canon of Scripture for most of the Church's history. The Literal Standard Version (LSV) is a modern translation that stays true to the original manuscripts. This handsome 6" x 9" edition features a matte finish with thick, high-quality, cream-colored pages. By popular demand the font has been increased to 8.5-point Times New Roman font for elegance and easy reading (the font size found in many study Bibles). The Complete Apocrypha offers a staggering two-thirds as much material as the canonical 66 books of the Holy Bible. Additionally, the apocryphal versions of Esther and Daniel are included in their entirety. The Complete Apocrypha includes Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Maccabees, 1st and 2nd Esdras, Prayer of Manasses, Enoch, Jubilees, Jasher, Psalm 151, and all of the apocryphal additions to Daniel and Esther (including The Prayer of Azariah, Susanna, and Bel and the Dragon). This collection is published by Covenant Press, the publishing arm of the Covenant Christian Coalition.

I never realized this was the Dead Sea Scrolls. I am amazed. As a Sunday school teacher, how could I not know about this?

I can certainly see why they left these out of the Bible. It largely contains details of Magic, Nephilim, The Watchers, fallen angels, demons and of course everyone's favorite taboo subject, Giants. It's just like how they are censoring anyone who opposes the Pfascist Pfizer Compliant or still believes in the Nuremberg Code, it's because they don't want the Truth getting out and cutting into corporate profits and dark lodge plans for depopulation. So why don't they want us to know about giants, angels, demons and magic? And this goes for government as well as religion. History class would have been interesting if we were taught the truth. Hardly anyone knows that Lewis and Clark talked about meeting giants and giant bones. Many islands off the coast of California and around the globe hold tombs for red headed giants in particular. Even Magellan wrote about running into unfriendly giants in South America, but it's not in any textbooks that force kids to remember dates of wars, empires, tyrants and little else. Sure seems like a concerted effort to keep us from key Intel? My guess is the government still fucks with giants in deep underground military bases. I also suspect a lot of aliens are demons or disembodied souls of Nephilim killed in the flood. I suspect the alien abduction stories of hybrid breeding programs might be the fallen angels again building an army like in the Days of Noah. It's starting to look a lot like Armegeddon as is...

Reading the Apocrypha is incredibly helpful in understanding the literary milieu of the New Testament. While this hodgepodge of books may date pre- or post-New Testament depending on which one you're reading, the Christian reader will benefit greatly from investing some time in the literature of the era. The Apocrypha is also helpful in demonstrating the shortfalls of the other canonical contenders. The fantastical and obscure nature of many of these writings stands in stark contrast to their canonical counterparts.

Any scholar of biblical history should include this as part of their studies. Nothing contradictory in here in regards to your faith. If anything, a supplement to believers. Some christian denominations consider these to be canonical or semi-canonical. I found the book of Jasher to be of particular interest. The title of this book also being referred to in the biblical books of Joshua and 2 Samual. I imagine all theological studies include this as part of their readings. Do not judge them until you have partaken in reading them.

What is the Apocrypha? I heard an Orthodox priest describe it in this helpful way: it is a collection of books that have, by and large, not been read in church, but which the Christian community has found helpful to read at home. I think I agree. It is full of fascinating tales I've never read, and added details to familiar biblical stories that help you see the characters motivations. After having read it I see why it is not in the Protestant canon. There is stuff in there that at least muddies the water on how we understand the Bible and at worst contradicts it, but that stuff is a very small part of this collection.

Do I recommend you read it? If you have read the Bible a few times then yes. If not, do that first then come back to this.

I gave it four stars due to typos in this printing.

Easy to read!

Clearly written. Fun getting to know the Patriarchs better and some light shed on the pre-flood world. Also some obscure passages of the Bible seem to be references to some of the concepts contained in the Apocrypha.

Apocryphal Writings

Includes all the apocryphal books and has brief description or comment before the beginning of each. I highly regard this work more than any other because of its completeness and accuracy

[R.J. Cusyk · Rating 4 out of 5]

While I wish some of the language was more consistent (judgement and judgment throughout the book). This was a very interesting and insightful read. Definitely worth checking out if you're into theology.

New Revelation

This is the first time I have read the complete Apocryphal and I cherished this additional input regarding biblical history. Thus, a great read because it provides additional details and insights which help us to become more informed servants ofGod.

[Bure Kabisa · Rating 4 out of 5]

A perfect expounder of the Holy Bible.

"Apocrypha, that are books which are not considered equal to the Holy Scriptures, but are useful and good to read." - M.L.-
