About the book
The first 2,000 years of human history occupy only 36 pages of the Bible. This epoch was once shrouded in mystery and myth, but modern revelation now answers many difficult questions: Did the Patriarchs really live for hundreds of years? Why were pagan religions so seductive? When did the Great Flood occur? How did Enoch set up Zion and eliminate poverty and crime? This book sheds inspired light on all these topics and more.
