Synopsis

The Book of Enoch: A Work of Visionary Revelation and Prophecy, Revealing Divine Secrets and Fantastic Information about Creation, Salvation, Heaven and Hell, translated by R.H. Charles. This was one of the most important books in early Christianity and used widely. Said to be the most widely read book by Christians during the first two centuries, this lost book is now back. Translated by R.H. Charles, who knew the Ethiopic language. As a result, this version provides the most accurate translation. Charles said, "the influence of I Enoch on the New Testament has been greater than that of all the other apocryphal and pseudepigraphical books put together."

Biographie de l'auteur

The author who revised The Book of Enoch made as (little) and (few) revisions in it as possible. For he desired to have the original text. But the fact is that there were several portions of the scroll of Enoch which renders various verses missing. There were literally pieces of the document of Enoch which were lost or destroyed. And so the author, having already written the entire book of Nathan the prophet and also having written the book of Gad the seer, felt well qualified to fill in the missing parts of Enoch. So without tampering with the parts of Enoch that we do have, the author, by faith, filled in the parts that we don't.

Présentation de l'éditeur

1 Enoch, written in great antiquity, is a text of ecstasy and heavenly vision purported to be written by Enoch, seventh from Adam, who "lived 365 years and was no more, for God took him." This book was influential and widely read in the early church, as witnessed by its quotations in the Biblical books of Jude and 1 Peter.
