Description: The Book of Enoch is an ancient Jewish text attributed to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. While not included in most modern Christian canons, it holds immense historical and theological importance, particularly in shaping early Christian thought. The text is accepted as canonical by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church, highlighting its varied acceptance across different traditions. One of the key contributions of the Book of Enoch is its expansion on the Genesis 6:1-4 narrative of the Watchers—angels who descended to Earth and took human wives, leading to the birth of the Nephilim and eventually contributing to the flood narrative. This story of divine rebellion adds depth to biblical accounts and provides a fascinating connection to Mesopotamian traditions. Dr. Michael S. Heiser has noted in his work, particularly in "Reversing Hermon," that the Book of Enoch is crucial for understanding the theological background of the Second Temple Period. This period served as a bridge between the Old and New Testaments, making Enoch an indispensable resource for biblical scholars interested in the origins of Judeo-Christian traditions. Ultimately, this text is a treasure trove for anyone exploring the Second Temple Judaism, angelology, and early Christian apocalyptic literature.
