R.H. Charles Studies on Apocryphal and Apocalyptic Texts (13 vols.)
Overview
The book of Enoch is considered an apocryphal book, not traditionally part of the Protestant canon. The integrity of the Apochrypha has been debated for a long time, but what are the resources available to discuss its authenticity? R.H. Charles left parochial work in 1889 to devote his life to biblical research and became one of the primary authorities of his time in matters of Jewish culture, theology, eschatology, and Apocrypha. This collection contains 13 volumes of Charles’ works, with topics such as Enoch, the twelve patriarchs, the writings of the Sons of Zadok, and the Decalogue.

I would be so excited to see this go live. There is just something so mysterious about these texts. They create a window into the time they were written and tell us so much of the popular theology, the hopes and fears of the people at that time. It's also interesting to see how many of these texts were at one time or another considered Canonical or close to Canonical by various bodies of believers, both Jews and Christians.
