No, not to me eith Well, that was interesting, edifying not so much. No, not to me either. So maybe even that part was no more than the dreams of a false prophet. Oh, and why do they refer to God as the Lord of Spirits? I doubt I will ever read this again and will certainly stress to anyone choosing to read start with a firm understanding that it is no more authoritative than the Book of Mormon or the Koran.
Jan 24, Avel Rudenko rated it it was amazing. It's wonderful content reveals more on who the "Sons of God" were. As mentioned in the Book of Genesis just before the great flood. It allowed me to realize a perspective in the verity on questions like, who these alien visitors were and why we do not have evidence of these visits.
Also exposing the facts on who really built the pyramids. And gave man the knowledge responsible for his Book of Enoch is to the beginning of Earth as the Book of Revelations is to the End of times in the Holy Bible. And gave man the knowledge responsible for his great technological advances. Are a few of us, the "Elect" ancestrally related by a consanguineous relation of the past. You'd be surprised by how much more the suppressors know, than you. We are all ONE, a collective consciousness.
If you kill a human being, you are killing part of yourself. Islamic, Jewish, Christian…we all stem from the same inception. We just went "really" wrong somewhere down the line. Sep 20, Yari rated it liked it. It's a bit difficult to review this book.
The portions referring to the angels were really interesting but I dragged through the numbering of the days of the years and the function of the sun and the moon etc. There were parts that were beautiful and 'scripture-like' but you can find similar scripture verses written much more powerfully.
This gives me reason enough to understand why the book of Enoch was disgarded. Christians should approach the book of Enoch as a piece of history and definitely It's a bit difficult to review this book.
Christians should approach the book of Enoch as a piece of history and definitely not as part of THE inspired text. Apr 29, John Martindale rated it liked it Shelves: religion , history. Parts of the Book of Enoch, according to critical scholars were written around BC. The book is traditionally ascribed Enoch. To me it would be fascinating if the contents of this book really were from Enoch and copied throughout the ages or carried along by oral tradition until they were written down.
Fragments of Enoch were among the dead sea scrolls and it is believed much of earlier Christendom were pretty familiar with its content. There is a possibility that Enoch is Jewish Midrash, which was If I understand right , similar to what we today, call historical fiction.
Midrash, then was a Jewish way to convey spiritual truth in story form, freely filling in gaps that the Torah left out. So it is possible that when Jude quoted Enoch, it was like quoting a character from a story, much like if I was to quote Grandalf from the Lord of the Rings. The question is, how did the readers at that time in history understand Enoch? Did they see it as Midrash or as ancient historical scripture? Many of the church fathers quoted from Enoch, nevertheless for various reasons which I won't discuss here, it was rejected from the biblical canon, also the book of Jude was almost rejected because it quoted Enoch.
The contents of the book of Enoch really interested me. Enoch goes into considerable detail about the angels that left their abode and coupled with the daughters of men, creating giants titans. Much of the book is concerning the wickedness they brought to earth and the judgment that will come upon them, in the flood, but ultimately in the final judgment.
Enoch has much to say about the final judgment, having a developed concept of angels, demons, the soul, heaven and hell and the Messiah, also called the Ancient of days and the Son of Man. Much of what Enoch shares on these things is expressed by New Testament authors. Many critical scholars have confidently claimed the Jews merely stole their concept of demons and the afterlife from Zoroastrianism, during their time of captivity in Persia.
Though, I'm thoroughly convinced otherwise, I'll still note here that if it could be shown the book of Enoch had its origins before the captivity, then this would truly dispel their nonsense once and for all.
Even if it was merely some historical fiction written in the 3rd century BC, then, wow Since the book of Jude is primarily about judgment, it understandable why he chose to quote from this text.
After reading Enoch, it is easy to think much of the epistle was inspired by Enoch. I wonder if it is safe to assume that those he wrote to were familiar with Enoch, and Jude is primarily writing his letter to remind them of the fate of the wicked found in its pages. Oct 13, Terese rated it it was ok. Imagninging if the council of Laodicea A. Spokesperson for BoE: Yes, yes, marvelous apocalypticism, isn't it?
Council: And where did you say you found it? Spokesperson: Egypt, thereabouts. Some in Ethiopia. Council: Ok, great, ehm, some general questions Spokesperson: Well, it is a collection more or less of several smaller works. Besides, you could say the same about Isaiah. Council: Imagninging if the council of Laodicea A. Council: Mm, yeah, but this text tends to be quite incoherent within the same work, within the same paragraphs even.
It's also quite repetitive. Spokesperson: You want the message to get through. Council: Of course, of course. It's just, it's not cohesive, within even the separate fragments. So, it would seem that the author struggled with things like names and numbers Wouldn't you say? Spokesperson: Not sure I would. Council: It's also a bit temporally confused. And poorly structured. As for the content Spokesperson: Breathtaking, isn't it? Council: We were thinking more along the lines of redundant in the essential and as for the rest Spokesperson: Different strokes and all that, it'll definitely be in the canon though, right?
We all love it. Council: Right Spokesperson: I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Council: It also declares that writing is a sin Spokesperson: Your point being? Council: Well, we're creating a canon of holy writ , you know what I mean? Spokesperson: Nope, no, not sure that I do.
Council: Great, well, thanks for this meeting, we'll call you. Spokesperson: I could wait around, if you want to make a decision now. I'm in no hurry. Council gestures for guards to come : We'll call you.
Spokesperson being led away by guards : Really, it's no trouble. I'll be right outside! Council: Burn it. But really, it's really brushing up against that border of being completely unreadable. It's just not Which is a weird measurement to use for a text like this, because they have a very specific type of purpose and format which is more about message that literary quality, but as someone who reads the Bible quite a lot the structure and language of this is just In short, I can see why it didn't make the cut.
And it was a good call. Shelves: biblical-literature. Amazing piece of apocryphal literature! It engaged me almost immediately with it's lore about the angels. I've always been enamored with angel lore so this book, along with a few other apocryphal books are so interesting to me. They make me feel like I'm getting the chunk of the story that was perhaps edited out of Genesis the beginning of Genesis, when creation is being discussed and, oh so briefly, the fall of the angels and what happened It help Amazing piece of apocryphal literature!
It helps me better understand these creatures we call angels, why some of them may have been so enamored with humans to want to come to earth to mate with us and eventually cause their own demise and fall with Lucifer.
However, I must remind readers out their that thinking that this is perhaps a "companion book" to the Holy Bible Shelves: religion. The way I was taking courses then, and as previously done in college, was substantially determined by my research interests. In other words, I'd be interested in a subject and find courses which would allow me to pursue the topic. In this case the project was to read the canons of all Jewish and Christian denominations, as well as all the apocryphal and pseudepigrap I read Charles' translation of 'Enoch' while taking Ray Brown's course on apocalypticism at Union Theological Seminary in New York.
In this case the project was to read the canons of all Jewish and Christian denominations, as well as all the apocryphal and pseudepigraphical works. Charles was, of course, prominent among the translators of these pieces. By the time I got to Brown's course I was finishing up this project and wrote for him a concordance of all number references in these texts with a paper on '14', a number he selected. The paper was lots of fun what with all the charts and graphs it included as appendices.
Now one could generate such a concordance quickly, given digitalized texts. This took months to do. Aug 13, Cem rated it really liked it. The Book of Enoch is a transitional piece of apocalyptica!
Some of the texts are as weird as the heaviest of the Nag Hammadi scriptures but in essence, tell of the same story of the time briefly described in Genesis, when the Nephilim came down from heaven and took human wives and worse, taught men agriculture, metal working, writing and so on. An A-level text The Book of Enoch is a transitional piece of apocalyptica!
An A-level text for all "they came from outer space" nuts Yes, I enjoyed it. Some parts were very thought provoking, some were a bit "out there", but all of it was interesting for being written as long ago as BC.
Book 1 The Watchers is the one that seems to get the most press or mentions for its descriptions of the angels, the Watchers, and the Nephilim, but I actually enjoyed Book 2 Parables the most, with the Son of Man chapters and references.
