Dear Mr. Lumpkin,
I’m curious about how you came to possess the Books of Enoch and what references you used to interpret them.
Thank you.

A refreshing and soulful discussion about the books that were left out of the Christian canon and the impact that ecclesiastical/political editing has had on humanity throughout history. It is a privilege to be able to listen to Joseph Lumpkin talk candidly about his experiences with these other illuminating texts. It allows the listener to hold all scripture in a broader context and opens our hearts to interpretations that we might not have considered before. Enlightening and refreshing!!

Hi Kim
Thank you for being such a good and encouraging host. Since the discovery of the Book of Enoch, in 1773 scholars and religious leaders have debated its place in Christianity. It was my pleasure to address this and the history of the church with you and your listeners.
Thank you and be blessed.
