The Book of Enoch
The Book of Enoch
Edited by R.H. Charles
The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls has brought the Book of Enoch back into its place of prominence and importance. In ancient times it was considered part of the canon of Hebrew Scriptures. It gives detailed insight into the life of the prophet Enoch and the events of Genesis chapter six; the rise of the Nephilim upon the ancient world, the judgment of the fallen angels and the Earth. Today, the Book of Enoch is considered one of the most important books in Judaism and early Christianity. R.H. Charles, who translated the book, said, "the influence of Enoch on the New Testament has been greater than that of all the other apocryphal and pseudepigraphical books put together." A definite must read for any serious Bible enthusiast.
