Get his newer book which has everything in this book plus some added material for the same price.By KristieThe only reason for the negative review is that you should buy his other book and not this one. The author has basically the SAME book titled "The Encyclopedia of Lost and Rejected Scriptures" which is newer; has added material and for the same price. If you compare the two side by side you will see it is word for word the same book. If your going to get this book get the newer book for the same price with the added chapters. Not a lot of extra material - but if your going to buy this book get the newer one for the same price.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Very Thoroughly Research and Presented.By lynnieI bought the book to learn more about general background data contained in the Bible and was curious as to the content. Author details where the text is believed to originate; whether or not it is considered factual or just good reading. He also makes it better reading by paraphrasing some of the text and translates it into modern English to increase its readability.Each book detailed in the cover is also explained with an overview and insights into the meaning and context of these "Lost Books" before the actual translation.It is a great read for anyone wanting to learn about books that were never included in the Bible. It also details such things as Adam and Eve after they are driven out of the Garden of Eden and fleshes out many known Bible stories such as Moses and Abraham.25 of 26 people found the following review helpful. Lost Books of the Bible: the Great Rejected TextsBy ArtiannaThis book has everything in it that I needed for my research. Those were Books of Eli and Jasher; so the others were an added benefit. The introduction tells about each book and where it is referenced in the Holy Bible; except for the ones on Adam and Eve. This book was a surprise and explained how it came about; which is really based on Jewish 'folklore'. Penned around the 3rd century; AD; it gives one pause to take every word as total truth; but quite interesting. I am happy with this purchase.
