SCARCELY any department of theological science has, in the last few
decades, received such marked attention and cultivation as that
branch for which the Germans have adopted the felicitous
appellation Neutestamentliche Zeitgeschichte, the study of the age
of Christ in its political, social, and religious aspects.
Observant readers will not have failed to detect that the tendency
of modern evangelical theology is to transfer the centre of
interest from the work of Christ to the person of Christ. Hand in
hand, and in close connection with this general tendency, certain
auxiliary branches have assumed an importance hitherto not
attributed to them. When the person of Christ forms the cynosure of
all eyes, his surroundings proportionally grow in interest and
importance; and hence it is not surprising that so much acumen and
learning have been employed in the truly fascinating study of the
Palestine of Christ's day in all its relations. The central sun
casts its rays of resplendent light on ever-day objects, and these
become prominent in proportion as they reflect this light. In more
than one respect the Book of Enoch is an important factor in these
investigations. Being one of the oldest specimens of apocalyptic
literature; reflecting in its different parts the convictions,
feelings, and longings of the people of God at different stages of
their development; written in imitation of the spirit of the
prophets, with religious purposes and spiritual objects; it can
safely be said to be an invaluable aid to the understanding of the
religious and moral atmosphere in which the Saviour lived. It does
not belong merely to the curiosities of literature, but is a book
of positive worth, and the source of much information to the
patient investigator.

The Book of Enoch tells of the Nephilim and the reason for the
great flood of Noah. Although recognized only by the Ethiopian
Church as canon, the book of Enoch was familiar to the Apostles and
1 Enoch 1:9 is quoted by Jude. Jude 1:14-15 King James Version
(KJV) 14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of
these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his
saints, 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that
are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have
ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly
sinners have spoken against him. This 1882 translation from the
Ge'ez by the Rev. George H. Schodde PhD. has been reproduced in a
large print format, complete with all explanatory notes from the
translator.
