About this audiobook
Many times our search for deeper understanding of the Bible leads to questions beyond the Bible itself. As we encounter references to social conditions, cultural practices, and even other writings mentioned within the scriptures we are called to investigate and expand our knowledge in order to fully appreciate the context, knowledge base, and cultural significance of what is being taught. Canonical Gospels quote other books not contained in the Bible. The Bible warns against heretical teachings without explaining what they are. Without insight into the books being quoted or the heretical teachings being sighted, the quotes and the reproofs mean nothing. Thus, to fully understand the Bible and the faith we are necessarily drawn to sources outside the Bible. These sources add to the historical, social, or theological understanding of Biblical and its people. In that time when the faith and doctrine of modern Judaism and Christianity were being forged, these books were being read and believed.
Contained in this single volume are the following texts:
Section One: Lost Scriptures of the Old Testament
- Enoch
- Jubilees
- Jasher
- Apocalypse of Abraham
- Apocalypse of Thomas
- 4 Ezra
- 2 Baruch
- Gospel of Philip
- Gospel of Mary Magdalene
- Apocryphon of John
- Gospel of Thomas

Joseph Lumpkin CEO of Fifth Estate Publishing http://www.fifthestatepub.com The early years of Joseph Lumpkin were spent under the tutelage of his grandfather, W.R. Lumpkin, a Baptist minister and former pastor of Temple Baptist Church in Chattanooga, TN. There he began his study in the fields of Theology and Ministry. He later obtained a degree and began writing and publishing religious texts. Joseph has produced over a dozen books on subjects such as Gnosticism, Midrash writings, and the translation of non-canon texts. According to Lumpkin, many non-biblical works influenced modern theology. He has been referenced in such articles as Thomas the Apostle, which cites Lumpkin’s The Tao of Thomas. His book entitled The Lost Book of Enoch: A Comprehensive Transliteration is the top selling book on the subject. Radio interviews on L.A. Talk Radio’s “Max and Friends”, “Rain Making Time” with Kim Greenhouse, and the U.K. Program of “Connecting the Light” have all hosted Lumpkin. Lost Books of the BIble, Angels and Demons, and other interesting subjects were discussed. Joseph Lumpkin is listed in “The Full Wiki.” http://www.thefullwiki.org/Joseph_Burton_Lumpkin

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Info is interesting.
Audio good up to chapter 102 which got corrupted with 101. Dual audio overlays not corrected by reloading the audiobook.
The narrator needs to figure out how to actually pronounce words in English. It's disconcerting to hear mispronunciations and breaks the flow of the narration.
The narrator's voice also seems to be forced into the bass level, rather than speaking normally.
