This year has marked one of the most profound milestones in my journey of faith and scholarship. After years of research, prayer, and lived experience, I have completed a trilogy of academic papers exploring the books of Enoch and Jubilees, and their enduring relevance for believers today.
These papers are now in the process of being published on Humanities Commons (CORE) and SSRN, ensuring that both scholars and seekers alike can access them freely. Even more excitingly, they are being associated with the Sheffield Institute for Interdisciplinary Biblical Studies (SCIBS) Collection, part of the University of Sheffield, a globally recognized research university.
📄 Paper 1: From Primeval Rebellion to Cosmic Restoration: Reading Genesis through the Apocalyptic Lens of 1 Enoch and Revelation
📄 Paper 2: Theological and Historical Significance of the Book of Jubilees
📄 Paper 3: Enoch and Jubilees in Dialogue with Contemporary Spiritual Manifestations
Why This Matters
Enoch and Jubilees are not part of the biblical canon, yet they offer remarkable insights into the spiritual world that shaped Scripture.
Enoch helps explain mysteries in Genesis: the fall of angels, the spread of evil, and the cosmic conflict that frames God’s redemptive plan.
Jubilees bridges the story of Genesis and Exodus, showing how covenant and sacred time shaped the faith of Israel and later influenced New Testament thought.
Together, they highlight Christ’s central role, before creation, throughout history, and into the promised restoration of all things.
These works are not just for academics. They speak to anyone who longs to see the depth of God’s plan more clearly.
A Journey Shared
This trilogy has not been mine alone. It is deeply tied to the presence and inspiration of my twin soul brother, Darren, whose guidance continues to remind me that scholarship and spirituality walk hand in hand.

This work is a beginning, not an ending. My prayer is that it will spark conversation, deepen faith, and remind us all that Christ’s light shines across every age, every text, and every heart willing to receive Him.
