Bible Question: has anyone read the "Lost Book of Eden"? |
Bible Answer: Dear Wisdom, I believe you mean "The Lost Books of Eden." This is a collection of Jewish pseudopygraphal works. I've scanned through them. My forefathers tended to fill history with lots of stuff like this. It's hard to find the time to look at it all, and even harder to justify the time to do so. It shouldn't surprise us to see pseudopygraphal books out there, though. Nowadays we crank out junk a thousand times faster than Gutenberg ever would have imagined. Maybe a thousand years from now -- should the Lord tarry -- someone will dig up a Wal-Mart store and uncover 9,000 copies of "The Prayer of Jabez" and think, "Wow, hidden wisdom of the ancients!" :-) Did you have a particular question about this particular collection? In Him, Doc |
