The Forgotten Books of Eden is a collection of ancient texts that were excluded from the Bible. Compiled by Rutherford H. Platt, this book includes a variety of stories, legends, and teachings that were once considered sacred by early Christian communities. The texts are divided into two main sections: The First Book of Adam and Eve and The Second Book of Adam and Eve. These books recount the story of the creation of Adam and Eve, their life in the Garden of Eden, and their expulsion from paradise. They also include a number of other stories, such as the tale of Seth and his descendants, the story of Cain and Abel, and the legend of the death of Adam. The Forgotten Books of Eden offers a fascinating glimpse into the beliefs and practices of early Christians, and provides a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of religious history.Contains many Scarce Writings Giving Mankind's Early Pictures of the Past and Hopes for the Future that have Survived the Devastation of the Centuries.
