The Apocryphal Books of the Old and New Testament: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This book is a detailed analysis of every book of the Apocrypha, written a full four decades prior to the Dead Sea Scrolls being discovered. It speaks about the content, purpose, authorship, and dating of each work- not just the well known ones like the Book of Enoch, Gospel of Nicodemus, or the books of Maccabees, but also lesser-known ones like Bel and the Dragon and the Book of Judith. It is fairly comprehensive and academic in tone.

Coming Soon: The Book of Tobit

Other than the Testament of Solomon, I haven't really touched on much Judeochristian material yet in my editing. That's about to change; the Book of Tobit is notable for those of us who are interested in the more mystic side of this otherwise rather mainstream spiritual system both for its strange ceremonial use of fish gall incense, and its treatment of the demon Asmodeus, here linked with lust as in virtually all later works.

An apocryphal work, it is present in some canonical compilations and absent from others (notably the KJV), the strange nature of the visitation of the archangel Raphael to Tobias, son of Tobit, makes it an interesting work.

I have finished editing this (rather short) work and will release it fairly soon, and then subsequently release two other Apocryphal works.
