⭐ Catholic Star Rating Review:
★★★★☆ – The Book of Jasher is a fascinating ancient text that parallels and expands upon events recorded in the Old Testament, from the creation of man to the conquest of Canaan. While it is not part of the Catholic canon of Scripture, it is mentioned in Joshua 10:13 and 2 Samuel 1:18, making it a work of historical and devotional interest.

From a Catholic perspective, it must be approached with discernment, appreciating its value as a cultural and spiritual artifact while remembering that the Church’s inspired Scriptures remain the ultimate authority.

It offers rich storytelling and insights that complement, but do not replace, the sacred deposit of faith.

📖 Description:
The Book of Jasher—meaning “The Book of the Upright”—is an ancient Hebrew narrative that recounts biblical events with expanded detail. Often mentioned alongside Scripture, it weaves together familiar stories of Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, and Joshua, offering deeper cultural color to salvation history.

For Catholic listeners, this audiobook provides a glimpse into the Jewish oral traditions that surrounded the Old Testament, while serving as a reminder of the Church’s role in preserving and safeguarding authentic Divine Revelation.

It is a valuable listen for those interested in biblical history, but best read through the lens of Catholic teaching.
