Synopsis

The Book of the Secrets of Enoch is a religious text that recounts the life and teachings of Enoch, a biblical figure who was said to have been taken up to heaven by God. This version of the text was translated by W.R. Morfill and is considered to be one of the most comprehensive and accurate translations available. It includes detailed descriptions of Enoch's encounters with angels, his visions of the afterlife, and his prophecies about the end of the world. The book also explores themes of sin, redemption, and the nature of God. Overall, The Book of the Secrets of Enoch is a fascinating and important work of religious literature that provides insight into the beliefs and teachings of early Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Book of the Secrets of Enoch cannot fail to be of interest to students of Apocalyptic literature and of the origins of Christianity. It is with a view to help such that this the first edition of the book has been undertaken. In certain respects it will appeal also to specialists in A ssyriology, So fax indeed as it does so, I have been able to do little more than refer to the leading scholars in this department, as my knowledge of such subjects is very slight, and all secondhand. This book has had a peculiar history. For more than 1200 years it has been unknown save in Eussia, where acquaintance with it goes several centuries back. Further, by its present name it was never known in any literature save the Slavonic Even in Slavonic the name was not quite constant, if we may trust one of the MSS. (B); for there it appears as The Secret Books of God which were shown to Enoch. And yet the book was much read in many circles in the first three centuries of the Church, and has left more traces of its influence than many a well-known book of the same literature (see 5), and it is undoubtedly of much greater importance in respect of exegesia In its Greek rform it passed current probably under the general designation of Enoch.
