Lost Books of the Bible and The Forgotten Books of Eden

I have the Scofield Study Bible KJV and this aids my understanding of key stories. Right now I'm reading the books of Adam and Eve and they really help me to visualise the emotions that must have been prevalent after the expulsion from Eden. I would recommend this to open minded people that seek a greater metaphysical understanding of the words of the Bible.

Great book

This book is amazing. It will change your outlook on all that you thought you knew about Christianity and being a Christian.

If you are searching for books that did not get into the Bible, this is a good start. The Christian Church decided which of its books should be regarded as scripture; many were rejected, and these documents are just a few of them. They certainly were never "lost" as they have been studied for years. Some were regarded by some early Christians as holy scripture, some not. Only the Christian Church could decide, and did.The front cover is horrific. I bought this edition in 1998 and complained that this dreadful cover was an afront to the contents. I also complained to the publishers that the illustrations show New Testament characters (even Jesus and His Mother) as being Black Africans ! I told them that I regarded this as being racist. By the way, Jesus and Mary were Isrealites and Jewish.However, it is a good introduction to Biblical apocryphal (i.e. outside the accepted Biblical books) writings. However, it is a reprint of the very early 20th Century reprinting. There are many other books covering the same subject which do not have such offensive and racist illustrations, and are of recent, and better, scholarship.
