Are books like 1 Enoch, Jubilees, and Jasher inspired Scripture?

In recent years, many influential voices online have argued that books such as 1 Enoch, Jubilees, and Jasher were wrongly excluded from the Bible and should be regarded as divinely authoritative. In Pseudo-Scripture, David Wilber carefully examines these claims in light of the biblical evidence, ancient Jewish and Christian sources, and modern scholarship, presenting a compelling case against treating these writings as Scripture.

Readers will discover why these books were not recognized as Scripture by either Judaism or Christianity and how some of their teachings conflict with the Bible. Thoroughly researched yet accessible to everyday readers, Pseudo-Scripture equips believers to appreciate the historical value of these writings while remaining firmly grounded in the unique authority of the Scriptures.

In this short volume, David Wilber has presented a strong and cogent rebuttal to the position that 1 Enoch, Jubilees, or Jasher should be added to the canon of Scripture. Wilber consults the best available scholarship and has carefully analyzed the text of these three pseudepigraphal works, demonstrating that not only is it nearly certain that these books were not penned by their attributed authors, but that all three contradict the Bible’s teaching in key areas. His analysis of the Eth Cepher Bible is also a poignant, accurate analysis of the weaknesses of the Eth Cepher as a theologically motivated sectarian revision of the KJV. This book is a must- read for any apologist who wants a better understanding of why and how the Pseudepigraphal books were deemed non-inspired by Judaism and Christianity.

In an age where ancient heresies and rampant conspiracies are rapidly metastasizing across the Internet, David Wilber does something rare and vital: he thinks carefully, reads widely, and offers substantial evidence for his claims. Pseudo-Scripture is not a takedown, but rather a tutorial, and one of the most accessible and honest treatments of this question I have encountered in my years of studying and analyzing the very texts with which he herein grapples. Despite the philosophical challenge of proving a negative (i.e., how does one prove a book that was never part of Scripture was ever “removed” from it), Wilber offers a cogent and concise treatment of an issue that plagues many Torah-observant communities. If you have ever struggled with how a text like 1 Enoch could be quoted in the Bible and yet not be Scripture, this is an excellent resource for your library.
