The Book of Enoch

By Enoch

The Book of Enoch is an ancient Jewish religious work, ascribed to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. Written by multiple Palestinian jews between the 3rd and 1st centuries BC, it is one of the earliest apocalyptic texts and is not considered part of the biblical canon by christians or jews, save certain Ethiopian or Eritrean Christian churches. The book describes the visions of Enoch, taken up by God at age 365 to witness heaven, the damnation of the wicked, and the salvation of the righteous. Translated by R.H. Charles and with an introduction by W. O. E. Oesterley, D.D.

Reviews for The Book of Enoch

[devil_llama · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

An apocryphal book of the Old Testament. This work is apocalyptic and poetic, though lacking the sublimity of the poetry of some of the other biblical works, such as Revelation. There are traces in here of Revelation, though this work is much earlier, and as I said, somewhat less over the top and less poetic. Still, it's an interesting look at the history of religion, and in this work, it's easy to see the pagan origins of the later monotheistic religions. The references to the chariot in which the sun drives across the sky is reminiscent of the Greeks. An interesting read, but tedious at times.
