Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis.The Imitation of Christ is widely considered one of the greatest manuals of devotion in Christianity. The life of Christ is presented as the highest study possible to a mortal, as Jesus’ teachings far excel all the teachings of the saints. The book gives counsel to read the scriptures, statements about the uses of adversity, advice for submission to authority, warnings against temptation and how to resist it, reflections about death and the judgment, meditations upon the oblation of Christ, and admonitions to flee the vanities of the world.Featured on The Book of Enoch - Explained.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.
Joseph and his Brethren by W. K. Tweedie."The story of Joseph is at once so simple that childhood is arrested and rivetted by it, and so profound that sages may deepen their wisdom by meditating on the truths which it embodies. While man displays his wickedness by committing sin, the Holy One displays his goodness by restraining it; and though his ways are confessedly “a great deep,” we get glimpses through the gloom,—we catch echoes amid the silence, which enable us to know, that when the tangled web of providence shall have been unrolled in light, it will be seen that he “has done all things well.” As the bones of Joseph were carried before the Hebrews during all their wanderings, from Egypt to Canaan, till they found a resting-place in that land of promise, the truth of God here goes before us still, a very pillar of cloud and of fire."Featured on The Book of Enoch - Explained.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.
Most Bibles don't include the Book of Enoch, yet the New Testament quotes it and one ancient church still treats it as scripture. We look at how the canon took shape, why Jewish and most Christian communities set 1 Enoch aside, how the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church kept it, and what its rediscovery in Europe and among the Dead Sea Scrolls changed.This episode includes AI-generated content.
Tucked inside the Book of Enoch is an ancient astronomy lesson: chapters 72–82, where the angel Uriel shows Enoch the paths of the sun, moon, and stars and lays out a 364-day year of exactly 52 weeks. We explore why this calendar mattered, how it connects to the Book of Jubilees and the Dead Sea Scrolls, why calendar disputes could divide religious communities, and the problem of a year that runs about a day and a quarter short.This episode includes AI-generated content.
Religion and Science from Galileo to Bergson by John Charlton Hardwick.This history of Western philosophy, published in 1920, explores how people have explained the natural world during the last few centuries, whether by spiritual interpretation or through advances in science. From the Preface: "The chapters which follow are not intended as even a slight sketch of the history of Thought since the Renaissance. Their object is more modest, i.e. to illustrate the thesis that mankind, being 'incurably religious,' insists (however hopeless the enterprise may sometimes seem) upon interpreting the universe spiritually."Featured on The Book of Enoch - Explained.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.
Genesis 6 mentions the "sons of God" and the Nephilim in just a few verses. The Book of the Watchers in 1 Enoch turns them into a full story: angels led by Semyaza who descend on Mount Hermon, Azazel teaching forbidden arts, the giants, and Enoch, a human scribe asked to plead for fallen angels. We explore where the text comes from, the Dead Sea Scrolls fragments, its place in the Ethiopian Orthodox canon, and how it shaped later Jewish and Christian imagination.This episode includes AI-generated content.
Literature and History of New Testament Times by J. Gresham Machen.There is a tendency in the modern Church to neglect the study of Bible history. Such neglect will inevitably result in a loss of power. The gospel is a record of something that has happened, and uncertainty about the gospel is fatal weakness. Furthermore the historical study of the apostolic age—that age when divine revelation established the great principles of the Church's life—is the best corrective for a thousand vagaries. Much can be learned from modern pedagogy; but after all what is absolutely fundamental, both for teacher and for student, is an orderly acquaintance with the Bible facts. The Teacher's Manual, therefore, is intended not merely to offer suggestions as to methods of teaching, but primarily to supplement the teacher's knowledge. A teacher who knows only what he actually imparts to the class is inevitably dull.Featured on The Book of Enoch - Explained.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.
