Bibliography

Below are books and websites of my bibliography and the suggested readings for people. Most of these are lists of (translated) literature, such as scriptures of both canonical and non-canonical texts. I have given some websites as well as a list of books, where translations can be found.

Bible

Since I’ve used other texts to compare with the Book of Genesis, I would need to use the Bible as one of my sources. There are number of different English translations of the Bible.

The most widely used is the King James Version.

King James’ Version

Good News Bible

Today’s English Version

United Bible Societies
4th (British) Edition, 1976

Tanakh: A New Translation of the Holy Scriptures

According to the Traditional Hebrew Text
The Jewish Publication Society, 1985

Being a Jewish text, this of course doesn’t have the New Testament.

Some of these Bibles are available on-line, so below is the link to various translations:

From the website Sacred Texts:

Jewish Literature

Here are some of the rabbinic texts used to interpret laws and narratives of Hebrew Scripture. The most important text here (for this site) is the Legends of the Jews, also known as the Haggada. I have listed other texts, e.g. the Talmud, the Midrash, etc., but I barely used these texts in my research; they are listed for your suggested readings.

The Haggada is the text where I found most of my information about Lilith and Enoch.

All of these texts/translations came from the website – Sacred Texts in the section of Texts of Judaism.

Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha

The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament

R.H. Charles
Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1913 (2 vols)

These 2 volumes used to be in my local public library, but they are now gone. That's why I have included various websites that have Charles’ translation.

A number of the texts found in this book can be found in various websites:

Sacred Texts has the Apocrypha, the Book of Jubilees, and books of Enoch (1 & 2) from the Pseudepigrapha.

Wesley Center Online has the most extensive collection of R.H. Charles’ translations in the Non-canonical section. Here are the links to various texts that I have used.

 Another site is Pseudepigrapha, Apocrypha and Sacred Writings:

For the New Testament Apocrypha, I have to rely on the translation of M. R. James.

The Apocryphal New Testament

M.R. James
Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1924

These translation can be found in the Gnostic Society Library: Christian Apocrypha and Early Christian Literature. And the following texts I have used can be found in the following links.

Dead Sea Scrolls

The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls In English

translated by Geza Vernes
Penguin Classics, 2004 (rev.).
I just got this copy very recently. It was originally published in 1962, but has been revised a number of times over the years. It includes many texts that were not published in the 1st edition. So I would highly recommend it for anyone who does biblical study or research.

On-Line Texts Related to Biblical Study
All of my sources for the translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls originally came from the website mentioned above.

These sources (individual works from DSS) are the following: –

Gnostic Texts

The Nag Hammadi Library

James M. Robinson
HarperCollins, 1990

Gnostic Scriptures: A New Translation with Annotations

Bentley Layton
Doubleday, 1987

The best site to visit, to hunt for Gnostic texts, is the Gnosis Archive or Gnostic Society Library, under Nag Hammadi Library. Some of these are the same translations found in Robinson’s book. Below is a list of texts that I have used in my research:

Outside of the Nag Hammadi Library are the following Gnostic texts from the Gnostic Society Library: Gnostic Scriptures and Fragments that I have used. They can be found in the following links:
