Description

The Books of Enoch Complete Edition brings together three ancient texts attributed to Enoch. This comprehensive collection includes an extensive introduction that explores the history and significance of these apocryphal books. The Ethiopian Book of Enoch, also known as 1 Enoch, is considered sacred by some early followers of Christ but was left out of the Western canon. Rediscovered in Ethiopia in 1773, it was first translated into English in the 1820s and German in the 1830s. Scholars believe that parts of it were written in the third century BCE and the first century CE. The book also includes the Slavonic Enoch, or 2 Enoch, which was once present in the Old Slavonic Bible, and the Hebrew Book of Enoch, or 3 Enoch, a Rabbinic text in Hebrew. These texts offer valuable insights into the biblical period and the development of Jewish thought.
