The Book of Enoch is an invaluable resource for all who are
interested in the origins of Christianity. It was known and used by
the earliest churches and sheds light on many concepts found in the
New Testament, such as demonology, future judgment, the Messiah and
the Messianic Kingdom, the title 'Son of Man' and the resurrection.
This new edition of R. H. Charles's classic translation includes a
substantial new introduction by Paula Gooder.
'The Book of Enoch the Prophet' is the oldest known mystical
document in existence, dating back to the second century BCE. It
reveals a vision of a new age of heaven on earth that figures in
esoteric and occult practices.
Enoch's apocryphal work from the 2nd century B.C. introduced such
concepts as fallen angels, resurrection, and last judgement. It
exercised a powerful influence on early Christians, particularly
the Gnostics. This title offers the definitive translation.
The Book of Enoch: A Work of Visionary Revelation and Prophecy,
Revealing Divine Secrets and Fantastic Information about Creation,
Salvation, Heaven and Hell, translated by R.H. Charles. This was
one of the most important books in early Christianity and used
widely. Charles, the translator, said, "the influence of I Enoch on
the New Testament has been greater than that of all the other
apocryphal and pseudepigraphical books put together."
Of all the books left out of the Bible, only the Apocrypha rivals
the Pseudepigrapha in popularity and importance. This edition of
the Pseudepigrapha was edited by R. H. Charles and was the
definitive critical edition for over 70 years.
The Book of Jubilees, an ancient text which details the history of
the division of the Laws of Moses, is presented here complete. The
text discusses the laws revealed to Moses and treats his character
as a second creator of the world. Each chapter covers a range of
history spanning 49 years, with Moses life story and other
principal events told over a course of 2,410 years. Perhaps most
importantly from a theological perspective, the book discusses the
angels and how these entities formed a vital component of the
Earth's creation. Enoch was taught by fallen angels; through them,
he discovered writing and history. We also hear that early man was
formed from a mating of Earthly humans and fallen angels, but that
these hybrids were killed during the Great Flood.

The Book of the Secrets of Enoch is a classic title edited by R.H.
Charles and translated by W.R. Morfill, which is an important
apocalyptic writing which delves into the early origins of
Christianity. Only known in Russia for over 1200 years, it was
originally in the slavonic language but is now presented here in
this english edition, published first in english in the later 19th
century. This is an important work for scholars and patrons of
christianity and specifically of apocalyptic works.
The most esteemed body of books left out of the Bible, the Old
Testament Apocrypha is of interest to historians, religious
scholars, and ordinary laypeople alike. For more than 70 years this
version, edited by R.H. Charles, has been the definitive critical
edition. Out of print for years, Apocryphile Press is proud to make
it available once more to scholars and the curious.
Translated from the Slavonic by W.R. Morfill. Edited, with
Introduction and Notes by R.H. Charles For 1200 years this book was
known only to a few people in Russia. When it was finally revealed
to the world in 1892, it was announced that it was a Slavonic
version of The Book of Enoch. This was wrong, Once translated, it
was found that we have an entirely different book on and about
Enoch, described, by the editor, as having no less value than the
other book. This is a completely new and valuable pseudoepigraph,
one which every person should read who is interested in Apocalyptic
literature and the origins of Christianity. This particular book
was read extensively by many separate Christian groups during the
first three centuries, and it has left us today with many traces of
its influence. It is now time to bring this book back into print so
we may relearn its value to the world. This work was written in
Egypt and we have determined that its author or original editor was
a Hellenistic Jew. The Greek original has been lost to history, but
the Slavonic text somehow survived. In its original Greek form it
had a direct influence on the writers of the New Testament. This
book was also referred to by Origen and used by the Church father,
Irenaeus. It was read by, and considered valuable, by the heretics
of the day in addition to mainstream Christians. This may be one
reason why it was excluded from the Bible. We do not believe in
banning or keeping hidden important works that have proven to be of
such value in the past. We hope this book will enlighten and inform
those who are seeking the truth.
This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the
original. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as
marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages. Because we believe
this work is culturally important, we have made it available as
part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting
the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions
that are true to the original work.
