The Book of Enoch by RH Charles 1893
The apocryphal Book of Enoch, suppressed by the Church and then lost for many ce
nturies, is believed to have been written in the first century or earlier. This
edition-translated by British biblical scholar R. H. CHARLES (1855-1931) tells t
he story of the fallen angels, who appeal to Enoch the Prophet, great-grandson o
f Noah, to speak with God on their behalf after He banishes them from heaven.
Makes mention of Metatron, which many Christians believe to be Jesus. The Book o
f Jude quoted from this work.
The letter of Aristeas. Translated with an appendix of ancient evidence on the o
rigin of the Septuagint, by H. St.J. Thackeray (1917)
The work relates how the king of Egypt, presumably Ptolemy II Philadephus, is ur
ged by his librarian Demetrios of Phalaron to translate the Hebrew Bible into Gr
eek: the Pentateuch. The king responds favorably, including giving freedom to Je
ws who had been taken into captivity by his predecessors and sending lavish gift
s (which are described in great detail) to the Temple in Jerusalem along with hi
s envoys. The high priest chooses exactly six men from each of the twelve tribes
, giving 72 in all; he gives a long sermon in praise of the Law. When the transl
ators arrive in Alexandria the king weeps for joy and for the next seven days pu
ts philosophical questions to the translators, the wise answers to which are rel
ated in full. The 72 translators then complete their task in exactly 72 days. Th
e Jews of Alexandria, on hearing the Law read in Greek, request copies and lay a
curse on anyone who would change the translation. The king then rewards the tra
nslators lavishly and they return home.
A main goal of the second-century author seems to be to establish the superiorit
y of the Greek Septuagint text over any other version of the Hebrew Bible. The a
uthor is noticeably pro-Greek, portraying Zeus as simply another name for Hashem
, and while criticism is lodged against idolatry and Greek sexual ethics, the ar
gument is phrased in such a way as to attempt to persuade the reader to change,
rather than as a hostile attack.

Witness to the Stars by Bullinger
(Using Astrology to understand the Bible may seem odd to some, but it is asserte
d that the signs of the Zodiac were originally designed by God to communicate th
e "gospel;" that this "Gospel in the Stars" was known to those living before the
Flood; that it was later corrupted into astrology; and that the alleged recover
y of the "gospel interpretation" of the Zodiac is a great "witness" to God and H
is Word. )
The New Testament in Greek by Westcott and Hort
Assumption of Moses by RH Charles
The Assumption of Moses (otherwise called the Testament of Moses) is a Jewish ap
ocryphal pseudepigraphical work of uncertain date and authorship that provides a
more consistent account of the Mount of Transfiguration experience, in which bo
th Moses and Elijah appear to Peter, James and John, and Jesus is transfigured b
efore them, in that none of these individuals are required to be either spirits
or resurrected persons. It also provides a consistent view of Jude (1:9) in that
the author of that work viewed the dispute between Michael the archangel and Sa
tan as an actual attempt by the Devil to kill Moses.

The Book of Mormon
In translating the Book of Mormon from the Golden Plates, Smith said he used "In
terpreters", a pair of crystals joined in the form of a large pair of spectacles
, which he later referred to as the "Urim and Thummim." In 1823 Smith said that
an angel told him of the existence of Golden Plates, along with which would be f
ound "two stones in silver bows" fastened to a breastplate, which the angel call
ed the Urim and Thummim and which he said God had prepared for translating the p
lates.
The System of Nature 1889 (the Atheists Bible)
The System of Nature (Système de la Nature) is a philosophical book by Baron d'H
olbach (Paul Henri Thiry, 1723-1789). It was originally published under the name
of Jean-Baptiste de Mirabaud, a deceased member of the French Academy of Scienc
e. D'Holbach wrote this book (with the assistance of Diderot) anonymously in 177
0, describing the universe in terms of philosophical materialism (i.e., the mind
is the same thing as the brain, there is no "soul" without a living body, etc.)
, strict determinism (free will is an illusion, and whatever happens, must), and
especially atheism.
The book was considered extremely radical in its day; even Voltaire rebuked him
for it. Though not a scientist himself, d'Holbach was scientifically literate an
d he developed his philosophy consistent with the known facts of nature and the
scientific knowledge of the day.
The book has been nicknamed "The Atheist's Bible". It makes a critical distincti
on between mythology as a more or less benign way of bringing law ordered though
t on society, nature and their powers to the masses and theology. Theology which
when it separates from mythology raises the power of nature above nature itself
and thus alienates the two (i.e. "nature", all that actually exists, from its p
ower, now personified in a being outside nature) is by contrast a pernicious for
ce in human affairs without parallel.
Malleus Maleficarum (English translation - searchable PDF)
The Malleus Maleficarum(Latin for "The Hammer of Witches", or "Hexenhammer" in G
erman) is a famous treatise on witches, written in 1486 by Heinrich Kramer and J
acob Sprenger, two Inquisitors of the Catholic Church, and was first published i
n Germany in 1487. The main purpose of the Malleus was to systematically refute
arguments claiming that witchcraft does not exist, refute those who expressed sk
epticism about its reality, to prove that witches were more often women than men
, and to educate magistrates on the procedures that could find them out and conv
ict them.
The book was an instantaneous success, read by clergyman, doctors, lawyers, and
any others who could read. The Hammer of the Witches was so popular, in fact, th
at it out sold nearly every other novel for almost two hundred and fifty years,
second only to the Bible.
