Synopsis

Now available in audio, the bestselling edition of the most important non-canonical apocalyptic text.

This superlative translation by noted scholar and theologian R. H. Charles is one of the best and most complete available. The introduction by esoteric bookseller and antiquarian bookseller R. A. Gilbert helps place The Book of Enoch in historical context and dispels many of the dubious interpretations previously attributed to it.

The Book of Enoch's vision of the Apocalypse takes a very different view than that of western Christians, although it is part of the biblical canon for Ethiopian and Eritrean Christians. According to Enoch, the wicked shall be cast out and the good will realize a literal heaven on Earth. The prophecies also contain the lost "Book of Noah," early references to a messiah as "Christ," and an accounting of the angels and subsequent creation of demons.

About R.H. Charles

R. H. Charles was a noted theologian and scholar, whose many scholarly reference works remain in print today. His book Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament in English remains a relevant work today.

'The Book of Enoch' is the little pre-Christian book (best guesses of scholars place its creation around 100 BC, give or take a century) which ended up being a Blockbuster world-changer. It has had a HUGE influence on many future literary and genre authors, and the Bible's New Testament, and Hollywo......more

Cultura general pura. Muy interesante y parabólico. El Libro de Enoc es un libro se dice intertestamentario que forma parte del canon de la Biblia de los patriarcados de Etiopía y Eritrea de la Iglesia Copta. No es reconocido como canónico por el resto de las Iglesias cristianas, a pesar de haber si......more

The Book of Enoch the Profit translated by RH Charles is a free loan from Audible. My impression is the sense it made not to include this in the biblical canon. Pretty cool to hear from someone who ‘walked with God’. Upon reading other summaries on Goodreads can understand why some people are put of......more
