The Book of Jubilees, or the Little Genesis: Translated From the Editor's Ethiopic Text and Edited, With Introduction, Notes and Indices (Classic Reprint)

The Book of Jubilees is a retelling of many biblical events and an important resource for those seeking more detail on biblical history and events. It was found in Ethiopia and is regarded by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church as canon. The original author's identity is shrouded in mystery, previously believed to be a Pharisee and almost certainly a Jewish person from the biblical era, we will likely never truly know. What is certain is that R. H. Charles' translation and accompanying notes are instructive, clear and assist the modern reader in making sense of this piece of theological and literary treasure. Charles sheds light on the unique position of the Book of Jubilees as the first substantive response to the Book of Genesis as well as religious beliefs of some of the Jewish population in the pre-Christian era. We are able to see both the familiar elements of the bible and the legal traditions and forms of observance of Judaism in forms that are never seen elsewhere or necessarily within the remainder of Christian and modern Jewish practice and theory. By comparison to this book, one would be easily forgiven for thinking of the Gospels in the New Testament as practically contemporary and the degree of change experience by the world can only be appreciated by engaging with works such as this and immersing oneself in the fascinating, rich context of the Abrahamic faiths. Seize the chance and sit at the feet of ancient theological scholars and absorb their perspective on the nature of our world and its origins.

The Ascension of Isaiah has been translated and assessed by countless scholars over time. Each assessment comes with a varied level of commentary and a varying level of quality in the Ethiopic text. For as full a picture of the text as possible this volume remains faithful to an accurate image of the original symbols and includes the Greek and Latin legend for context. This book is tripartite with one part of Jewish origin and the following two of Christian origin. Whilst it does not constitute a canonical part of either faith, it certainly has an impact on the way in which biblical mythology is conceived. R.H. Charles was a distinguished scholar in his area and contributed to other scholars working in the field over many years with his linguistic analysis. He portrays a variety of narratives that are absent from mainstream Christian traditions including the anticipation of the Antichrist as well as the canonical belief in the second coming of Christ. This volume also allows us to appreciate the diversity of biblical myth in the early part of the era following the birth of Christ prior to the organised concentration and editing of biblical tales. Charles also maintained that we need information about the corruption of the early church in order to appreciate the content of the Bible. This work will be of keen interest to those who enjoy biblical history, myth and comparative linguistic study. It is the work of a linguist, a librarian and a lover of stories.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
