Synopsis

The early Christian Fathers and the Essenes of Qumran respected 'The Book of Enoch' but by the 4th century AD the text was deemed heretical and all extant copies were destroyed. Then in the 18th century, a surviving Ethiopic version was found. It tells of 'Watchers', visions, a Son of God, the universe's make up and the apocalyptic final judge

A propos du livre

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.
