The Book of Enoch

By R.H.Charles

Book Overview

R. H. Charles provides a definitive translation of one of the most noted apocalyptic works still in existence. Often described as "the lost book" of the Bible, The Book of Enoch seems to have been written in Palestine by several different authors in the first and second centuries B.C. For hundreds of years it was accepted by the early church fathers, but it was rejected by the council of Laodicea in A.D. 364. Today, it remains a written remnant of the Apocalypse -- an ardent testament to hope and the triumph of good over evil in the dawning of a world to come. Rife with concepts of original sin, fallen angels, demonology, resurrection, and the last judgment, it is a vital document to the origins of Christianity.
The Book of Enoch is comprised of various monumental works: The Book of Enoch, The Parables, The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries, The Dream Visions, The Concluding Section, and The Noah Fragments. Each work is independent, but all the works are bound by a common theme: the punishment of the wicked and the blessedness of the righteous. This edition, complete with analysis and notes, is an indispensable resource for the study and understanding of both the Old and New Testaments.

uhhhhhh stop writing in the books!!!!!!!!

I just now have a chance to read this book, I'm pretty upset about the condition of the contents inside. It is written on all over these pages. It's hard to read they've got lines they've got side notes it's pretty devastating to jack up a book like this. It's all written on I'm not happy about it.

Terrible font - Unreadable

If you have ANY sort of depth perception issues, the text of this book will be unreadable. Returning. Disappointed loop
