The Apocrypha: The Complete Volume

Including the Books of Enoch, Jubilees, and Jasher

De: Joseph Lumpkin

Narrado por: Mel Jackson

The official editions of the King James contained the books of the Apocrypha until 1796. Most printers did not clear inventories and change to the 66-book version we know today until the mid 1800's.

Etymologically, the word "apocrypha" means "things that are hidden", but why they were hidden is not clear. Some have suggested that the books were "hidden" from common use because they contained esoteric knowledge, too profound to be communicated to any except the initiated...others have suggested that such books were hidden due to their spurious heretical teaching.

The Apocrypha: The Complete Volume contains the following: A Brief History, 1 Esdras, 2 Esdras, 1 Maccabees, 2 Maccabees, 3 Maccabees, 4 Maccabees, Letter (Epistle) of Jeremiah, The Prayer of Azariah, Baruch, Prayer of Manasseh (Manassas), Bel and the Dragon, Wisdom of Sirach, Wisdom of Solomon, Additions to Esther, Tobit, Judith, Susanna, Psalm 151, Enoch, Jubilees, 1 Clements, Shepherd of Hermas, Book of Jasher, and an Overview of Books.

Good listen

Many lost books reading audio with commentary. a good addition to any bible and sacred text audio library.

Not the best reader, but still does well. It's worth it!

I'm inspired by what I heard here. These books inspired or not, are inspiring.

Holy Spirit inspired...!!!

I love it and I have a great report on this collection of truly Holy Spirit inspired scriptures... it's a shame that these Books were stripped out of the Holy Bible and that most Christians are very unfamiliar and very misinformed about these Holy Books of the original cannon and were hidden from the masses for centuries... but now they are available to everyone who wants to study these precious Books of the Apacropha... Praise God Almighty for ever more...!!!!

names to chapters

it would have been nice to have the name associated with the chapters. hard to remember which book you're in due to the length of this book.

SPECTACULAR CHALLENGE!!

American Ninja Warriors, Marvel Heros, DC Bad Boys, and the WWF are ALL CREAM PUFFS and CHOIRBOYS compared to the HEROs of these Ancient Texts, and the VILLIANS of these Ancient Historical Events make the CIA Torturers look like rank AMATEURS. It’s INCOMPREHENSIBLE to me the HORRORS that were inflicted on the Jews that would not defile themselves by turning away from the One True God and the COURAGE THEY EXHIBITED is HUGELY INSPIRING!! Glory to GOD!! Hallelujah! SELAH!
