About this ebook

The Book of Enoch (also 1 Enoch) is an ancient Jewish religious work, traditionally ascribed to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. It is not part of the biblical canon as used by Jews, apart from Beta Israel. It is regarded as canonical by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church, but no other Christian group.

Ratings and reviews

Definitely should be in our Bible as it explains a lot of how we learnt what we know today, and makes the Bible more understanding, god said nothing should be added and nothing should be taken away, and the Vatican has done exactly that, but why what don't they won't us to know. They also have a lot of books and scriptures that they won't tell us about or admit they possess. The question is why?

On my first reading, I found no direct contradiction with anything that is written in canonical Scripture. My guess is that it's considered non-canonical for the detail with which it describes the fallen angels who corrupted the Earth in the days of Noah. I can see how those who take to heart the injunction against understanding evil in one of the last chapters of the book might find that a dangerous amount of information to divulge to anyone. Otherwise, I found encouragement from the prophecies within.

If you are like me and you long for the Lord and the beautiful things he has made this book is extremely insightful as it gives very detailed imagery into the beauty that God creates as well as his just judgment. This book does not give me the impression it is giving any kind of instruction like the inspired scriptures this book is more or less what Enoch had seen that God had showed him as he is telling the tale of what he experienced. If you love pondering on the deep things of God this book is for you and I found no inconsistencies when comparing it to what the Bible says this is a very amazing study. I highly recommend you read The book of Enoch if you want a true visual of the awesomeness of God.
