The Book of Jubilees (Annotated): Or The Little Genesis (Collector's Edition)

The Book of Jubilees (Annotated): Or The Little Genesis (Collector's Edition) Paperback – August 7, 2022 by Dr Nathaniel Avery (Author), R.H. Charles (Translator).

This beautiful collector’s edition of the Book of Jubilees includes insightful introductory commentary by Dr. Nathaniel Avery, a scholar of religious and ancient texts. Translated from the Ethiopic text by R.H. Charles.

The Book of Jubilees is an ancient text consisting of an expanded retelling of the events of Genesis and Exodus, where Moses receives the wisdom of the heavenly tablets from God and one of his angels on Mount Sinai.

While not considered scripture outside of the Ethiopian church, this apocryphal book has been considered to be a lost or missing book of the Bible and represents a fascinating insight into the development of early Christian beliefs. Thought to have been written in the second century B.C.E., many fragments of the text were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, and it is likely that the book was very important to this community.

This volume is essential reading for anyone interested in furthering their knowledge of early Christian times and biblical history, beliefs around our origins, and the events of Genesis and Exodus.
