The apocryphal Book of Enoch, suppressed by the Church and then
lost for many centuries, is believed to have been written in the
first century or earlier. This edition-translated by British
biblical scholar R. H. CHARLES (1855-1931) and first published in
1917-tells the story of the fallen angels, who appeal to Enoch the
Prophet, great-grandson of Noah, to speak with God on their behalf
after He banishes them from heaven. Enoch travels to heaven,
describing what he sees there in detail, and speaks with the angels
and ponders their nature. The book, in its original Hebrew or
Aramaic, is believed to have influenced the writers of the New
Testament, and while not considered canonical scripture, its
apocalyptic themes continue to be highly influential today in
modern popular Christian End Times fantasy, such as the Left Behind
series. Students of the Bible who wish to explore related texts and
those interested in foundational apocalyptic literature will find
this book essential reading.

upon the historical narratives in Genesis and Exodus, the book
probably originated as a Jewish apocalyptical work. It also
contains a fascinating variety of material not found in the Bible,
including details concerning the Fall, Cain and Abel, angels, the
Flood, the Tower of Babel, Jacob's visions, the Messianic Kingdom,
and many other subjects.
