About the author

Enoch is a figure in Biblical literature. In addition to an appearance in the Book of Genesis of the Hebrew Bible, Enoch is the subject of many Jewish and Christian writings.

Enoch was the son of Jared (Genesis 5:19–21), the father of Methuselah, and the great-grandfather of Noah. The Bible says that Enoch lived 365 years before he was taken by God. The text reads that Enoch "walked with God: and he was no more; for God took him" (Gen 5:21–24). This Enoch is not to be confused with Cain's son Enoch (Genesis 4:17). The Christian New Testament has three references to Enoch from the lineage of Seth (Luke 3:37, Hebrews 11:5, Jude 1:14–15).

Three extensive apocryphal works are attributed to Enoch:

1st Book of Enoch, or simply the Book of Enoch, an apocryphal book in the Ethiopic Bible that is usually dated between the third century BC and the first century AD.
2nd Book of Enoch, an apocryphal book in the Old Slavonic Bible usually dated to the first century AD.
3rd Book of Enoch, a Rabbinic text in Hebrew usually dated to the fifth century AD.

These recount how Enoch was taken up to Heaven and was appointed guardian of all the celestial treasures, chief of the archangels, and the immediate attendant on God's throne. He was subsequently taught all secrets and mysteries and, with all the angels at his back, fulfils of his own accord whatever comes out of the mouth of God, executing His decrees. Much esoteric literature like the 3rd Book of Enoch identifies Enoch as the Metatron, the angel which communicates God's word. In consequence, Enoch was seen, by this literature, and the Rabbinic kabbala of Jewish mysticism, as having been the one which communicated God's revelation to Moses, in particular, the dictator of the Book of Jubilees.

So some of this has to be taken seriously, in that it is quoted seriously in the New Testament. But other parts of it are seriously weird. Anyway, it was time I read it.

[Amalie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I wanted to read this since I watched the early seasons of Ancient Aliens. It's strange how some parts of this text have been taken so seriously.

This was difficult to understand. Some parts made sense as much as The Book of Revelation. Some parts sounded like science fiction. I could see why it is not in the canon of Scripture. I noticed many contradictions, and I am no expert.

I also did not notice Book of Enoch revealing any prophecies. If there were any, they were as vague and obscure as Nostradamus’ prophecies. Anyone can read what they want into them. I did not see that anything meaningful can be interpreted from it that can fix any of the problems of this world.

I don't know if the scholars believe the Book of Enoch to have truly been written by Enoch in the Bible. It seemed to me that this was handed down by tradition, and eventually recorded in, what we today recognise as, The Book of Enoch.

I think it's a nice book if you are curious about ancient storytelling.

6/10

Basically, it's a biblical fanfic that didn't have the chops to get included in the big book, but still has some interesting stuff.

Ok so yeah its weird, I get that, but its also kind of fun, you know?
So basically Enoch is pissed at the fallen angels-not demons, these ones are different, he calls them the watchers and God kicked them out of heaven for having kids with humans. That's bad. Bonk, straight to horny jail. Anyway so these watchers like to hang out with humans, and they teach humans a bunch of stuff like kick boxing and astronomy, also how to do makeup and make medicine. I guess this was bad because people stopped relying on God, also because they shouldn't have trusted the watchers. Anyways, Jude quotes it and it gives a perspective of early Jews that impacts how we read the Bible, so you can't just toss the whole thing as much as some may want to. It also seems likely that Jesus quotes it, so maybe we should pay a little more attention to this strange book.

(Luke 6:24): “Woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
(Enoch 94:8) Woe to you who are rich, for in your riches have you trusted; but from your riches, you shall be removed.

I recommend skipping the intro, it's useless.

It's difficult to argue the Jewish people weren’t awaiting a messiah, they really seemed to want one here.

“Blessed is He, and may He be blessed from the beginning and for evermore. And before Him there is no ceasing. He knows before the world was created what is forever and what will be from generation unto generation.”

Suuuuuuper interesting!

[Jon Adler · Rating 4 out of 5]

interesting read, along with the fragments of “the book of giants” & the “wisdom of solomon.” aronofsky’s “Noah” adaption made me want to read the source material. i didn’t realize this book was so ambiguously old, made me much more curious about Enoch’s visions & how the prophecies fit into the larger biblical tradition.

Damn, I wish we lived in a world were angel-human hybrid babies that were also giant cannibals were accepted into the bible canon.

This book has been on my virtual bookshelf for several years (repeated theme lately) and I have just finished it today, an assigned book from the Monastic Spiritual Theology online course I'm taking, which is part of my uThM program.

Right out of the gate, I was surprised by the blatant and rather detailed reference to the fallen angels of Genesis 6. Not only does the reference stand as the most likely source material for both Peter and Jude, but it does appear as if it was also used by Jesus in the teaching of celibacy after death.

I was shocked when I read that it was these fallen angels that brought with them in their descent, all kinds of evil and taught humans things that they we were never intended to learn. Writing. What? There was even an angel named Gâdreêl who taught men "all the blows of death...and showed the weapons of death...." So, combat or the martial arts originated from a fallen angel!

Apparently, they also taught us magic, enchantments, astrology, astronomy, meteorology, horticulture, agriculture, art, writing, reading, medicine and science - which appears to be all of cultivated civilization and the sum total of our 6000 years of technological "innovation" and advancement.

They were not aliens that came to earth to help us build the pyramids after all. It was randy angels that were smitten with Billy Bob's second cousin so much, they fell from heaven, disobeyed God and accepted a fate worse than death.

But, after this scandalous account, the rest of the document (which is claimed to be multiple documents collected over a period of time) quickly degrades into a sub-par religious text of often repetitive slogans and illogical prophetic gibberish.

I do plan to research the history of this document and find out why the church decided against including it in the Canon, especially since it was obviously used as source material for multiple New Testament authors and even possibly Jesus.

A provocative read: yes. Lives up to the hype: no. Worth the time: only if you have nothing else to do on a Sunday or it's part of your curriculum and you have to read it just so you can say you read it. But, with that said, I'm glad I read it.

Although 'Enoch 1' is the primary written work in this compilation, and these writings are ancient writings written by various ancient authors, with commentary by a modern author, I am critiquing the entire book, considering its ebook format.

The eBook format, images/charts, grammar, written content, and book intents were quite well designed and compiled. The written content is the most attractive element of this book. I liked the way Winter commented on ancient 📚 without overwhelming with information overload, for the books speak for themselves. More explanations should have been made about the images/charts though.

Overall I enjoyed reading this book. From what I have read and learned about the "Book of Enoch" (book 1), it should not have been removed from being read. This version of Enoch 1 reads very much like the King James Version, and would fit with the other books quite well, although with a mystical kind of tone. I think that no one should fear reading it.

Much 🙏 Wisdom of the Lord should be used for those deciding to read "Testament of Solomon". Only the mature in the Lord and strong in the Faith, should choose to read it. There seems to be many contradictions to the modern canon, so I wouldn't accept that book as inspired by the Lord. It is possibly an ancient book, that reveals how ancient people thought at that time, with maybe a portion of truth mixed with false ideas (possibly dangerous for babes in the Lord).

(Each of the 5 categories gets 1 star if I think that the book achieves 70%+ in that category. Then the stars are added up for the final rating.)

Deserves no star

I am amazed that people read this and think there was some kind of conspiracy by Jews or Christians to keep it out of the Bible. It is obviously not written by the person or persons whom it is named after. The testament of Solomon especially is so anti-biblical in nature that it could never have been included in scripture. Not only that , almost all scholars agree that it was written over a thousand years after Solomon lived. There'll always be individuals looking for hidden and secret knowledge when the new and Old Testament's are so clear in meaning and interpretation on all essential matters . These are obvious works of fiction . It is clear why they were condemned by the early church and Jews alike.

[Avis Gill · Rating 4 out of 5]

Being a Catholic, I thought I’d give this book a read. This version was adapted to the King James English and read somewhat like the Holy Scripture’s. Although the Book of Enoch was banned, burned and nearly forced out of existence by the Catholic Church (will have to check this out as to when this was suppose to have happened) the Ethiopic version survived along with parts of 1 Enoch found in the Qumran caves. This is the most famous banned book throughout all recorded history.
The Book of Enoch was once cherished by Jews and Christians alike because of its controversial statements on nature and the fallen angels.
When reading this book it makes a person think and wonder if it actually happened. I guess we won’t know until Enoch returns!

[Andrew Mitchell · Rating 3 out of 5]

An incredible story, and introduces the manipulative lies the Church has used to create a Bible that in many places doesn't tell the whole story, doesn't complete the story, and with many outlier mentions it denies the reader further explanation.

Knowing who the Church is, the convocation trusts of old, the numerous verses omitted from the Bible over time, I'll never consider the Bible an inspired book again.

The Book of Enoch expands on the various mentions in the Bible with direct quotations from other sources that you can compare and begin to see how the biblical message was changed.

The summary of the research and findings of "the giants" also should prove to the reader that the censorship machine is vast, and been with us for a long time.

Book of Enoch

I enjoyed it. If you are a Mason, you must read. It will be saved, and read again. Great book.

[Caleb D · Rating 1 out of 5]

There has long been debate about whether The Book of Enoch should be included in the biblical canon. After reading it, I agree that it certainly should not be. The text is disorganized, filled with strange and confusing passages that seem to add unnecessary complexity rather than spiritual clarity.

For example, one section describes fallen angels teaching humans how to make weapons and use makeup—an unusual blend of mythology and moral warning that feels far removed from the biblical narrative. Yet, at times, the book does seem to align with Scripture, such as its references to the coming judgment and the “Son of Man” who will sit on a throne of glory—echoes of themes later seen in the Book of Revelation.

Ultimately, however, The Book of Enoch is not biblical in nature and often more confusing than enlightening. I don’t recommend it to readers seeking spiritual truth or inspiration. Just read your Bible instead!

[stefanddddddd · Rating 3 out of 5]

a lost book that was once part of the bible and now only found in the ethiopian bible and some rare documents. the story of fallen angels and the travel of enoch (the ancestor of Noah) in his dreams, guided by angels, in the kingdom of heavens.

the difference between the text and the marketing and superlatives every forum has on this text is ridiculous. from a strictly down to earth narative, i can understand why it was removed from the bible. the story is beyond stretchy and quite limited in imagination, even compared to the bible. the trip through the heavens can be summarised in: there were big mountains here and there, some big light and fires, fires everywhere. as for the fable of the sheep and the pastor ppunishing them and the other animals, i find the parables of the bible significantly more sophisticated and filled with meaning.

if we take it as a SF work written 2000 years ago, then maybe that's remarcable for that time.

[Meka · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well…wow.
My religious curiosity and intrigue led me to read this book- and it was interesting to say the least.

There are many instances where I see a strong resemblance to the books of Jude and Revelation from the Bible, and wonder why this book was not included in the Holy Book.

Many times this book made me research and identify certain thoughts and ideas, such as Noah being allegedly the first Albino man on earth, the months and moon phases being explained in such detail etc.

Yet of course, as has a reputation for being unreliable or having some texts that are questionable in terms of validity and accuracy - take it with a grain of salt.

But an interesting, thought provoking and respectable read!

[LittleRedWolves · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book cites the San Diego Giant as proof of giant remains being discovered this is UNTRUE. In 1985 the Smithsonian took a skin sample from the remains of the San Diego Giant and determined it to be gelatine. It then travelled with Fred Rawson as 'Fred Rawsons Mummy'.

Also worth noting that Guiseppe F. Sala was an Italian sculptor who took responsibility for crafting a number of petrified fake giants and grave robbing.

The author alluded to other additional evidence that comes from fraudulent claims ranging from misrepresented paleolithic elephant discoveries in Crete to the exaggerated proportions of desecrated Native American remains by settlers.

Nice to have all the texts in one place but needed to correct this misinformation.

[Missie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don't know about the veracity of this book; and the controversies surrounding exclusion from canon.
It impacted me deeply-whatever the arguments are.
It is a bit like scripture-you see what you want/or are enabled to see. An angry, wrathful God or a powerful loving One? At this time in the age, how can such a script be ignored?

[Carole Lautenschlager · Rating 5 out of 5]

I wanted to read this out of curiosity. I am intrigued and enjoyed this read. If you are familiar with Scripture there are many prophecies within this work that are compelling. Now I understand why many shy away from this. It has deep deep questions within. Yet still speaks to the Glory of the Creator. Well worth a curious read.

[Duncan · Rating 3 out of 5]

The contents of the book themselves are exceptional, purporting to explain original sin, and the fall of the angels, as well as the rebellion itself. Where this edition falls short is in the editorial comments by Winter (the purported translator) himself.

A fascinating and encouraging read about a saint who often flies under the radar but got to see and experience things that no other man got to see or experience. Highly recommend!

Fascinating read. Adds another facet to the Bible.

[Noah McMillen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This collection contains the Book of Enoch, the Book of the Giants, and the Testament of Solomon. Overall, these books were very interesting and I believe the Book of Enoch could have some insight and truth to it especially since it is quoted in the book of Jude. However, in my reading, it did appear to have some contradictions to the Biblical canon and other issues. These issues included the fact that in Enoch’s vision it seems Satan falls from heaven after man, not before; the extended section on the luminaries, which also seems like some sort of ancient mystical science and not scripture, suggests the universe is geocentric; and in the last chapter, Enoch talks about writing his words in other languages, but supposedly, Enoch wrote these words before the Tower of Babel, so there would only be one language. Therefore, because of these reasons and others, I think it is clear that the Book of Enoch is not inspired scripture and should not be treated as holy, though it still is an interesting, and possibly insightful, read.

[Bruce Jenkins · Rating 5 out of 5]

Interesting!

I learned a lot from this author and appreciate the fact that this book gave me some background knowledge as to some the things I thought that the Bible was missing. For those who are seeking a fuller understanding of how it all comes together this book may be the key that helps you to understand how it all fits together.

Enoch forbidden book of the Bible

I read the book and say that by my spirit confirm the book to be trust worthy and true It should in my opinion, have been included in the King James Bible.
