21 Books Mentioned in the Bible That Are Likely Lost
By REVTREV
As a writer and student of history I often daydream about what it would be like to discover a book lost to antiquity. I’m not talking about the “hidden books of the Bible” that periodically get splashed on trash papers in the checkout lines at grocery stores.
I have the deuterocanonical books. I have the popular books of the first two century of the church. (The Max Lucado’s of the day.) I even have in translation the gnostic writings found in Nag Hammadi. These are ancient, but not inspired.
A lot of the lost books are that way. We call them “lost books” because they’re mentioned in the Bible and we don’t have them. I have a different list than most people as I disagree with what they call “lost”. For example, I don’t consider the Book of Jashar translated by Joseph Smith to be the original. I don’t agree with the explanation of how it arrived in North America or his ability to translate ancient Hebrew.
On the other had, other people mention “The Books of Judah and Israel” and they could be right, but I think our Books of First and Second Kings fit the bill.
This list may not be complete, but it’s a fun list to dream about.
