Enoch the Prophet

This author has an great deal of knowledge. His book is wonderful. I'm not quite sure why people are quoting Lewis in fiction, when they have a giant in knowledge to quote from with Nibley.

The loss and rediscovery of Enoch and comparisons to LDS

This erudite study includes essays discussing various Enoch texts, their suppression and loss, and more recent recovery, and even more recent appreciation in New Testament and Judaic studies. He includes essays on The Book of Enoch as a Theodicy (justification of the ways of God to man), a wide-ranging comparison of the themes of the Enoch literature with some of the oldest Egyptian, Greek, and Babylonian myths. Finally, he extensively compares the contents of the recently recovered Enoch texts from Ethiopia, Qumran, Slavonic, etc. with the Enoch material produced by Joseph Smith in 1830. Altogether mind-expanding and provocative.
