The Lost Book of Enoch

A Comprehensive Transliteration of the Forgotten Book of the Bible

By: Joseph B. Lumpkin

Narrated by: Dennis Logan

Quoted in the book of Jude, and used to form our view of angels and demons, this book connects the dots of doctrine and prophecy in the scriptures. Details are revealed about the "Sons of God, (angels), that left their positions in heaven to marry human women", having children that became giants and monsters called Nephilim who introduced violence, sorcery, and evil spirits into the world. This book, along with the Book of Jubilees, is considered sacred to the Christian church in Ethiopia, and is placed in their Bible alongside the Old Testament books.

Apocrypha Explained

I received a review copy of this audiobook.

This is a stripped down version of The Books of Enoch, also by Lumpkin. As such, I have basically the same comments I had when I listened to that.

Lumpkin does a fine job giving useful commentary and context for the book of Enoch. The book itself is fascinating.

The audiobook is somewhat overproduced. While I applaud attempting to distinguish narration/comments from the original text, the echo effect is distracting and unpleasant.

good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

Great resource for learning

I love reading different versions of Enoch, Cepher, Lumpkin, and others, to see the slight differences between them, just to get a fuller understanding of the text. Great Audible, the voiceover is done good, pronounced everything good. This book is one of the oldest books out there, found with the other Dead Sea scrolls, taught my "Jesus" , quoted by Jude. And many of the "old testament" book. This ancient text is important to read. At least to me. If you need some better understanding of it, Parable of the Vineyard YouTube channel has a great series going on.

Very informative!

Great for anyone who is interested in reading about the Bible and the books that were forgotten.

Second best version of The Book of Enoch available in audio

The best was the other title by Joseph Lumpkin, A Complete Guide and Reference. Compared to The Book of Enoch: A Complete Guide and Reference, this version is the same book without as many bible references and notes from the author. This version is best suited for the casual reader whereas the Complete Guide and Reference is for the academic. Both are well produced and I love Dennis Logan's voice, style and delivery.

Liked Content Some Narration Complaints

The narrator says "Two Chronicles" not "Second Chronicles" and the same for every Book of the Bible with multiple books. Most Americans don't do this so that was annoying.

I also disliked the echo and reverb effects. I don't mind a Bible reading with sound effects if the sound effects are stuff that goes with the text but echo and reverb just no.

I do like that the content gives a lot of references and author notes. I do wish that the audiobook had a nice table of contents and chapter titles that would support going to a specific chapter of the book. It sort of has thus but because of commentary the Chapter number in the Audiobook is higher than the Chapter from the Book of Enoch.

Can't get past the mispronunciation of many words

It does not sound as if the narrator is even remotely familiar with scripture or the pronunciation of less than common English words. Too distracting to continue past the introduction.

Too much reference to the New Testament

I wanted to listen to the Lost Book of Enoch, but the author/narrator kept going back to lines from the New Testament which made the story too confusing. It would have been good for someone who was really into Christianity and the New Testament, but in my case I was more interested in Enoch and his experience with the Aliens or Angles. I will have to try some other versions and see if I can find one that deal more directly with the original book.

I can’t with the narrator

The narrator of this is terrible. There are distracting awful echos every chapter that make it sound like some cheap trick and the narrator uses his voice is weird ways. It’s very distracting and totally takes away from The Book of Enoch. Shame on the narrator and people who decided that this was an acceptable audiobook. I had to pay for this version and I regret it.

Narrator unqualified

A great book is made annoying because the Narrator mispronounces many of the Bible chapters and locations.
