This work explores the heavens and the earth through the eyes of Enoch. It chronicles the events as a group of holy angels called the Watchers fall from grace, desert their heavenly home and trade eternal life to taste the forbidden lust for earthly women. This work looks closely at the anguish and regret felt by the fallen ones as they realized what they had done and the consequences that followed. We explore how the Watchers felt about their offspring with the women, the Nephilim, the Eljo, and the Men of Renown.

The story of Joseph and Aseneth was written between 100 BCE and 100 CE, in a midrash style. This translation is rendered in a modern, easy to read format with history, background, and commentary. Joseph and Aseneth is an epic story of love, desire, sanctification, and forgiveness. It is also a story of religious intolerance, racism, sexism, subterfuge, betrayal, and hate.

Sihastrul: The Hermit is the first in a series that introduces the eponymous hero as an ambiguous character associated with the time before creation. A proto-human of sorts, with tiny wings in his forehead, the Hermit lives in a duration across time and space. We learn that at the moment of his birth, an angel fell and was captured in the newborn Hermit’s first breath, remaining trapped for an indiscernible length of time in his soul. Book one ends with the Hermit’s imminent death, whose dying breath gives the angel a way out.

Summary
Among the first seven scrolls discovered in the caves of Qumran at the Dead Sea is a scroll given the name "The Book of Giants". It is thought to have been based on the Book of Enoch, a pseudepigraphical Jewish work from the third century BCE. The Book of Giants, like the Book of Enoch, concerns itself with the Nephilim, which are the offspring of fallen angels, who are called the Watchers. Two main versions of the text exist. The Dead Sea version is written in Aramaic. Another version has been found written in middle Persian, adapted from the Aramaic to fit into the Manichean religion. Both versions will be examined. Following theories speculating that the Book of Giants was once part of the Book of Enoch, we will attempt to place the two texts back together to render the complete story of the Watchers and the Nephilim. We will discover the history and contributions of these ancient scrolls and look carefully at their content and meaning. Throughout the combined texts of the Book of Giants and the Book of Enoch we will examine all the biblical and apocryphal references and parallels within the text. The result is an in-depth and panoramic view of the Angels, the Watchers, and the Nephilim, and how one of the giants of the Nephilim race may have survived the flood intended to cleanse the Earth of their horror.

Unsuitable Narration
Tha narrative content is fascinating but I struggled to listen due to the deep voice with a grating vocal fry more suited to narrate a gangster/Marvel DC movie film trailer or spy novel. Also the use of reverb for the chapter titles was again an indulgence that is to much for a classical extra Biblical work & irritating. asked for a refund & will just read a hard copy.

Mainly Just read word for word - Disappointing
I was hoping for a study and reflection on the Book of Giants but it was just a general reading of the source material which in this day and age is very “of it’s time”. We need scholars to unpack, unwind and release the secrets and symbols hidden in these unwieldy sentences which this book was far from doing.
Disappointing

Excellent Book! I highly recommend this book!.
This is what should be taught in today's churches. So much valuable information and knowledge that has been kept from the masses. To think that Watcher's could mate with humans is shocking but believable. I listen to this Audiobook constantly that's how good it is.
GOD Bless everyone!.

Codex Corrupted - Otherwise A Good Listen
If this is not your introduction to apocrypha you know that the works in this category are mostly amalgams of incomplete materials that have become extant over thousands of years. This makes assembling a cohesive document effectively impossible with what we currently know.
Academically, the issue is handled by noting places where information is incomplete. When reading scholarly works those notations are easy to ignore, but when listening to someone reading from quasi scholarly works it can be a horrible experience.
In this book every incidence of incomplete information is read aloud as "codex corrupted". Codex corrupted, codex corrupted, codex corrupted, is repeated hundreds or thousands of times. It is so bad I made a clip of those words the ringtone for my lawyer. It is funny at first, but gets old after 20 minutes or so. Consider yourself warned (there has to be a better way).
Otherwise it's a good review of the extant material. There are few absolute conjectures and those are clearly defined as such. While there's little new here, the ordering of the information is approached in an intriguing way. It's worth a listen.

An Exceptional Resource Book for all Who Want Biblical History and Future Knowledge
I had been looking for years for something more on the giants I read about in the OT it is great to find such a book with a bonus of Enoch. We got a glimpse of each in the OT Biblewhich leaves you needing to know more. This book along with th book of "Enoch" answers all remaining questions.

I just can't.
I couldn't get through two chapters. Plus I'm getting a message that I can't do a self return on it? I don't want it to return if I manage to get rid of it. It's just not good.

I like this book really
I like the story being told here, but that echo shit at the beginning of each section makes me want to take the editor (or whoever's choice the echo was) and kick them to death in a cave where the bouncing of their face off my shoe would echo just as aggravatingly. Dennis Logan is a fine performer for this, which is the only thing that redeems the performance score.
