Joseph B. Lumpkin (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 12, 2011

Quoted in the book of Jude, and used to form our view of angels and demons, this book connects the dots of doctrine and prophecy in the scriptures. Details are revealed about the "Sons of God (Angels) that left their positions in heaven to marry human women", having children that became giants and monsters called Nephilim who introduced violence, sorcery, and evil spirits into the world. This book, along with the Book of Jubilees, is considered sacred to the Christian church in Ethiopia and is placed in their Bible along side the Old Testament books.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best version of the Book of Enoch., January 29, 2006

This review is from: Lost Book of Enoch : A Comprehensive Transliteration of the Forgotten Book of the Bible (Paperback)

This book is based on the Ethiopic book rather than the Slavonic, which is known as "the Secrets of Enoch"."The Lost Book of Enoch" is a much better,readable version.
Jude 14 tells of Enoch as a prophet.So,an Enochian book did have an influence on the NT.
Discoveries of copies of the book among the Dead Sea Scrolls found at Qumran prove the book was in existence before the time of Christ.
Mr. Lumpkin has added scripture quotes where there is a relationship to the text in this book.Editor's notes and Author's notes are also helpful,and explanatory.
This book is prophetic of Jesus Christ.It is also apocalyptic.
You can read the names of the fallen angels and the mighty archangels.
While this book is not included in the Bible,it does have value in giving us a glimpse of the beliefs of the early church and before that even.
I haven't found anything in this book that contradicts Scripture yet.
I recommend "the Lost Book of Enoch" by Joseph Lumpkin over any other book of Enoch.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Captivating Book, March 28, 2006

This review is from: Lost Book of Enoch : A Comprehensive Transliteration of the Forgotten Book of the Bible (Paperback)

This book connects the dots of doctrine and prophecy in the scriptures. It goes into more detail about the "Sons of God (Angels) that left their positions in heaven to marry human women", having children that became giants and introducing violence, sorcery, and evil spirits into the world.

It seems the revelations of Enoch were very similar to that of the prophet Daniel and John the writer of Revelations. It also seems obvious that the first christians and some Jewish sects, including Jesus Christ, were fimiliar with the Book of Enoch and considered it a part of scripture. I can understand why some questioned it's authenticity because of when the book became available and the awesome visions and supernatural scenes discribed. But if one compares them to the bible/canon we have now one can see a lot of similarities and parallels. The book of Enoch does not take anything away from what we already have, but confirms it. What struck me was the large amount of prophecies to The Elect One/ The Messiah and the naming of about 20 of the chief angels/holy ones that were in charge of about 200 other angels that had children with human women. Also the naming of a few other good angels that are not very familiar to most protestants, like Uriel, Raphael and Phanuel.

There is some debate as to whether Angels are able to procreate with human or not, but I think if you search the popular scriptures carefully you will see that is not a valid arguement. Many times angels have appears to the patriachs as "men" including the 3 that appeared to Abraham and Sarah and the ones that rescued Lot and his family. Also, I have (and some of you readers) have heard of persons, men and women, that have been attacked by evil spirits that assaulted them sexually. It was not God's plan for angels to have intercourse but because these angels in Noah's day sin's and transformed there bodies to have intercourse like humans, they were judged and cast into prison until judgement day. As far as I know, God has not allowed angels/or demons to have offspring with humans again.

Lastly, the events described in Enoch reminds one of the old myths and lengends from all over the world of god's and beings procreating with humans and other gods to produce heroes and great men of old. Examples: Lengends of Zeus and Hercules, the gods of Egypt and Odin and Thor, etc. Maybe some of these myths are reflections of what happened before the great flood. (?) Just an observation on my part.

Read the Lost Book of Enoch and do your own research and discussions.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rewrite of R.H. Charles' translation?, June 24, 2010

By 

Demantius "Demantius" (Nuneaton, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lost Book of Enoch : A Comprehensive Transliteration of the Forgotten Book of the Bible (Paperback)

44 reviews praising this book to the skies, and none telling you what the book is. I'm going to get slammed for saying something different...


What this book is:

It's a rewrite from English to English by the C.E.O. of a world outreach ministry called, "Karate For Christ." of someone else's translation - apparently mainly based on R.H. Charles' translation from the Coptic of 1912 - of a Jewish "pseudepigrapha" [meaning it has nothing to do with the Enoch of Genesis 5] compiled sometime over the period 3BC to 1BC, with the exception of a few later additions by Christians.

Why would anyone want to buy this?

There's a much better translation - a real translation, from Coptic - in The Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, Vol. 1: Apocalyptic Literature and Testaments (9780385096300): James H. Charlesworth. And buying those two big volumes - with all the other contents, not just 2 Enoch, 3 Enoch, works out a lot cheaper than buying one-off reprints like this. Plus you get extensive notes, introductory essays, and modern scholarship.

But maybe that's the point? The modern scholarship would spoil the fun. Who wants a holy book that has notes showing that the "Enoch" quotes from Second Temple sources, in other words only a few years before Christ and 4,000 years after Enoch is supposed to have been born.

So if you're happy with what the book is - a stripped down rewrite of someone else's translation, of a 3C BC book by someone who isn't Enoch - then, go ahead. But do so knowing what you're buying.

ALTERNATIVE READING SUGGESTION:
Jewish Literature Between The Bible And The Mishnah, with CD-ROM, Second Edition (9780800637798):
This is a great medium sized starter book introducing all the "lost books" of the period between Daniel and the New Testament.
