The New Melchizedek Bible, Volume 2 The New World Academic Theology Library

The New Melchizedek Bible, Volume 2 is all the known extra-Biblical books from the era of Judges through the era of the kingdom of David. . The primary work is the 4th book of the retelling of Genesis, the very lengthy Book of Jasher, alias the second book of Asher. . Also featured are some pieces of the Persian scriptures from the first days of the Zoroastrian empire. These provide insight into the world view of the turbulent era from Joshua's day 1350 BC, until the glory days of David's kingdom 1000 BC. . . A major volcano around the 12th century BC cooled off the weather worldwide, and resulted in famines and war. Not long after the volcanic event, the 42 chapter Book of Job was apparently published by Eli, the godfather of Samuel. (Its all a bit cloudy) . . Literary activity appears to have been limited during the era of Judges and the turbulent kingdom of David. The praises of the book of Psalms, appear as the primary literary effort during a time focused on the construction of Jerusalem, the dodging of foes, and the preparations for the building of the Temple in Jerusalem.
