The book of Enoch is one book that scares many people.It throws lots of Dogma to the curb.It shows that Angels have their own hell to deal with, it tells of Angels sexual lust for Humans. God isn't refered to as Lord, or Father but as The Great One. One reviewer said in simple terms that because it wasn't in the Canon it's fake! There is evidence that most of the biblical scholars used this book as a study guide. The 100 AD given is a falsehood when stated like that, you would rewrite somthing too if you and two other people were the only ones who could read the book!Space travel is also mentioned when Enoch travels to learns the positions of luminaries and the explanation of the laws of gravity The book opened my eyes and helped me understand and raise some questions about Bible history.

This book was not typeset by the publisher. It appears that the pages are Xeroxed (and poorly) copies of someone's term paper. The content (what can be read) is excellent, however the extremely poor print quality, makes this book virtually useless as a reference tool as far too many Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic characters are blurred or otherwise illegible.

Good book. Just be aware that the Greek fragments are not translated. Before you think you'll just crack this book open and get some new information brush up on your ancient Greek.

Shame on those reviewers that are more interested in the cover than the book. It wouldn't even be in print if Kessinger Publishing hadn't resurrected it from obscurity! A must read for the metaphysical biblical scholar as well as an indipensable guide to ancient lore.

This book is a great adjunct to the Bible. I was happy to have found it.

First and foremost, the text looks like a fourth or fifth generation photocopy that is completly illegible in some parts and would cause eye strain in others.

Second, the price is ridiculous for a paperback book.

Third, as icing on the cake, a cover with an arrow through a flaming heart (meant to give expression to the amorous despair of the "sons of God" for the "daughters of men," I assume?) that could not be any more tasteless.

Shame on Kessinger Publishing. I am going to return this and try Charlesworth's "The Old Testament Pseudepigrapha."

The Enoch book,is good at feeling in a lot of blank areas that seem to be missing from the KJ version.I highly recommend this book to be read and studied for personal comfirmation in conjunction with the KJ bible or any other text of similar contents .I've read,that those who put the KJ version together omitted this book and other's like it.Get the book and you'll see what I mean by filling in some of the missing parts.Enoch states in the book,to his son to pass this info to all the generations,it's time for you to know,the missing parts...

As seen in Gen 5:24 Enoch was taken by God. Now this means that he did no die. In this book it latter goes on to tell how he was changed into a Spirit being. Also it goes through and shows many matters of Prophecy. This book gives a detailed outline of the Hevenly Hierchy. The amount of information concerning this book is very massive and no breif review can describe it. Some say that this book does not belong in the Bible for it was not mentioned by Jesus. However in Jude 14 it does mention him. This book is a first hand experience of what the heavens are like. I have pitty for everyone who does not read this book.

This book was worth the read, if only to discover why none of the early churches accepted the apocrypha (which includes this book). It is also to note that when the Catholic church DID decide to accept the apocrypha, they did not include this book. The concept of angels marrying humans is not only non-Scriptural, it is down-right heretic. Another problem with this book, is that it could not have been (and was not) written by Enoch as many are led to believe. This book was written around 100 AD. Enoch's time was millenia before! Also, regarding the mention of this book in Jude 14, it was mentioned as an example. Several other Biblical authors mention other books, but this in no way implies that those books are inspired by God; rather they are just used to help confirm, clarify, or illustrate a point. See also: Acts 17:28, 1 Corinthians 15:33, and Titus 1:12 for reference to other non-Scriptural books mentioned within the canon of The True Word of God.
