About The Lore Library

The Lore Library started as a place to take strange old texts seriously. Not to sensationalise them, and not to explain them away either. The Book of Enoch really was quoted in the New Testament and really was dropped from the canon. Four different words really do get flattened into the single English word hell. Those are facts about the documents, and they are more interesting than anything invented on top of them.

The guides sold here are the long-form version of that work. Each one takes a subject the videos can only skim in a few minutes and gives it the room it needs, with the sources laid out so you can check the reasoning rather than take it on trust.

How the guides are written

Primary text first. Where a translation is contested, the guide gives the original term and the range of defensible readings. Where scholars disagree, it names the disagreement instead of picking a side and hiding the alternative. Where something is speculation, it is labelled as speculation.

Nothing here is a devotional text and nothing here is trying to talk you into or out of a belief. It is closer to a reference shelf than a sermon.
