You’re Invited! To a Jubilees Study in the Extra Biblical Librarian Chat

The Book That Needs To Be on Every Believer's Reading List

If you’ve been following Extra Biblical Librarian, you know that I love the Book of Jubilees!

Of all the extra-biblical books I’ve read, I believe Jubilees is one of the most intriguing and relevant. A companion to the Book of Genesis, Jubilees covers history from Creation to Mt. Sinai. It provides insights into the biblical narrative, truly breathing new life into familiar stories.

Significant themes include the following:

• Lives of the patriarchs

• YHWH’s Calendar

• Establishment of feast days

• Angels, watchers, and demons

• End Times prophecy

Credibility

Jubilees is historically credible. At least 15 fragmented copies have been found among the Dead Sea Scrolls in the Qumran caves. Only 5 other biblical books exceeded its number of copies. The Qumran Community placed Jubilees in high honor.

Given the copies among the Dead Sea Scrolls, Jubilees is generally dated to the 2^nd century B.C. Many, myself included, believe that these copies were likely based on much older manuscripts.

Jubilees continued to be held in high esteem by early Christian writers, historians, and Church Fathers. Today, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and Ethiopian Jews include Jubilees in their Bibles.

If you have ever wanted to read this book or learn what it is all about, I invite you to an online Jubilees study!
