Publisher's summary

The well-known and acclaimed work of Dr. Joseph Lumpkin has been enlarged to include new research on the Books of Enoch, Fallen Angels, the Watchers, and the Nephilim. After presenting extensive historical backgrounds and brilliant translations of The First, Second, and Third Books of Enoch, Lumpkin takes time to piece together a historical narrative of Fallen Angels, the Watcher, and the Nephilim, using his extensive knowledge of ancient texts.

The history of the fallen angels is sewn tightly together using such books as Enoch, Jasher, Jubilees, The Book of Giants, The War Scrolls, and many others. The story will astonish you.

New information on the First Book of Enoch is greatly expanded. Lumpkin describes the calendar of Enoch and its pivotal place in the prophecy of Daniel. He takes First Enoch apart, section by section, to describe its history, the time frame of authorship, and its contents. Copious notes are included throughout.

This volume, containing The First Book of Enoch (The Ethiopic Book of Enoch), The Second Book of Enoch (The Slavonic Secrets of Enoch), The Third Book of Enoch (The Hebrew Book of Enoch), and The Book of Fallen Angels, The Watchers, and the Origins of Evil. Expanded commentary is included for the three Books of Enoch, as well as the sections on angels, prophecies, and the Enochian calendar. These sources are found here, all in a single source.

Dr. Joseph Lumpkin is the CEO of Fifth Estate Publishers and the author of over 20 books. He appears regularly on LA talk radio and the show Rain Making Time as an expert guest on the subjects of religion, theology, and church history.

Look for other books by Joseph Lumpkin such as The Book of Jasher, The Book of Jubilees, Lost Books of the Bible, Banned from the Bible, and the Encyclopedia of Lost and Rejected Scriptures. A complete catalog can be seen at fifthestatepub.com.

Lose the echo effect

the use of echo effect in this book makes it unbearable to listen too. it totally takes away from the story and make it feel cheap.

Completely Unlistenable

I made it through five minutes before I had to give up. The fact that the narrator mispronounces words constantly is something I could live with, the awful effects added were not.

I'm super disappointed because I really wanted to listen to this book, but until a competant narrator gives it a go that will unfortunately never happen.

Fascinating, intricate, ancient spiritual text

These are fascinating books for those familiar with the Christian Biblical texts and probably with Jewish or Islamic texts, but since I don’t know the latter two, I’ll only comment on the connection with the Christian Bible. The text and its Notes clearly point out similarities and many connections with canonical texts. I recommend these to someone who studies Biblical texts and are very familiar with them. Since either these texts or their sources obviously influenced the writers of the Bible, they are informative. It also was obvious to me why these would not have been acceptable to the church fathers who decided upon the Canon. If as a Christian I had to incorporate an understanding of these texts into my faith, that would be complicated and very difficult. Still it is interesting to see how Evil is described as being established on the earth, to hear an explanation of why there were giants, to be told of God’s displeasure with the “fallen angels” who became evil spirits, yet he allowed them to exist on the earth and draw humans into evil.

That being said, these are not books that would interest someone who is not familiar with, nor interested in, Biblical texts because they are mystic in nature and repetitive and full of almost impossible to pronounce names of human characters and of angels. For his smooth rendition of these hundreds of names (though sometimes different than what I grew up calling these characters), I commend the narrator Dennis Logan.

However, I was often distracted by Logan’s mispronunciation of common words, for example: prophesy or prophesied, Yea (as in “yea or nay”) pronounced as though it were yeah, quiescence, back and froth (instead of forth). These were mostly found in c 48A, but there were too many throughout the entire text.
Also, I disliked the too common repetition of phrases to improve the inflection or emphasis, but the first reading was not edited out. Proofing should have found and removed those repetitions.
The punching of words, and gaps between too-short phrases, made a staccato or percussive effect through the entire 17+ hours. It was easier to listen to the delivery at 1.5x speed or faster, in fact, 1.0 speed obviously was slowed down from the actual speed when recording. I don’t understand why that would be done.
The echo effect put me off at first, but as I realized it was used for titles and notes and parentheses, it was helpful to understand the text while listening, not able to see those textual elements. I wished it had less extension of the echo, which seemed inappropriate – didn’t fit with the nature of this scholarly translation of historical texts.

Cheesey, Cheesey, Cheesey!

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Reading the text without the reverb on every chapter title. Emphasis on appropriate areas of the text. The writer seems to have an extremely low level of understanding of the text. I was expecting a doctoral level dissertation and got a Junior High Essay.

Would you recommend The Books of Enoch: The Angels, The Watchers and The Nephilim to your friends? Why or why not?

No, it is weak in explanation and making the text relevant.

What didn’t you like about Dennis Logan’s performance?

Way overdone and cheesey. This should be a theological treatise, not a junior fiction tale.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment.

Any additional comments?

Take the book seriously and do better research and writing.

Amazing!

Joseph Lumpkin has compiled very detailed yet easy to follow information he’s gathered to give a more complete story. The narrator Dennis Logan reads this story like he wrote it. I wish all of Joseph Lumpkins stories were read by Dennis Logan just because it’s a great pair! 6 out of 5

Great book and insight, but reader too slow

The book itself is great and the commentary and insight is good too. But the reader is excruciatingly slow, it's painful to listen to at times. The whole book is like some suspense drama with no build up or climax, just a very slow ultra serious monotone
