The Forbidden: Hidden Angels of Scripture

By Michelle Hoffmann

Step beyond the familiar angels of the Bible and enter the mysterious world of the Book of Enoch, the Watchers, fallen angels, ancient apocrypha, and forgotten heavenly beings.

THE FORBIDDEN: Hidden Angels of Scripture by Michelle Hoffmann explores thirty-three angels and celestial beings whose stories survive in ancient Jewish and Christian writings, mystical texts, and books outside the biblical canon familiar to most modern readers.

Meet Uriel, Raphael, Phanuel, Semjaza, Azazel, Kokabiel, Penemue, Metatron, Sandalphon, and many others whose stories reveal an ancient world filled with heavenly rebellion, forbidden knowledge, divine judgment, healing, resurrection, prayer, and mystery.

Each chapter focuses on an individual angel or closely related figure, exploring:

- Who the angel was
- Where the name appears in ancient literature
- What the angel was believed to have done
- The forbidden knowledge associated with the Watchers
- Differences between holy angels and fallen angels
- Manuscript variations and conflicting ancient traditions
- Why certain angels disappeared from the Bible familiar to many readers
- How later religious and mystical traditions remembered them

Drawing from works including 1 Enoch, 2 Enoch, 3 Enoch, Tobit, 2 Esdras, the Apocalypse of Abraham, and other ancient traditions, the book separates what the early texts actually say from the legends that developed centuries later.

This is not a claim that thirty-three angels were individually erased from the Bible. Instead, THE FORBIDDEN explores the fascinating and complicated history of the books, traditions, and manuscripts that preserved their names.

Perfect for readers interested in:

Book of Enoch and the Watchers
Biblical and apocryphal angels
Fallen angel traditions
Ancient Jewish mysticism
Nephilim and pre-Flood traditions
Religious history
Angelology
Ancient mysteries and forgotten scriptures

Dark, mysterious, and thoroughly fascinating, THE FORBIDDEN opens the old books and brings their forgotten celestial inhabitants back into the light.
