The Book of Enoch, written during the second century B.C., is one of the most important non-canonical apocryphal works, and probably had a huge influence on early Christian, particularly Gnostic, beliefs. Filled with hallucinatory visions of heaven and hell, angels and devils, Enoch introduced concepts such as fallen angels, the appearance of a Messiah, Resurrection, a Final Judgement, and a Heavenly Kingdom on Earth. Interspersed with this material are quasi-scientific digressions on calendrical systems, geography, cosmology, astronomy, and meteorology. (Quote from sacred-texts.com)

Most people do not know that the Book of Enoch is referenced twice in the Bible as Scripture. Get a copy for your reference. Book was brand new, still in the wrapper.

Great Translation
In my opinion, this book should never have been removed from our Bible. It was written for the modern day saints and is full of comfort and hope. In depth information of origin of evil and fallen angels. Contains description of blessings for the saints and the ultimate destruction of all the wicked.....Much can be confirmed in our Bibles. A must read for all who love to study the scriptures.

Important to know to understand NT
Have you noticed that in the NT, there are demons everywhere, water baptism, a "son of man" and a resurrection from the dead? All concepts absent from the OT, but assumed to be common subjects in the NT. Have you noticed references to things like "Michael arguing with the adversary over Moses' body, "and a "third heaven"? Why would these things pop up and be assumed?
While Enoch doesn't cover all of these things, it certainly is the background for several of these things. During the 400 years between Malichi and Matthew, people kept churning out scriptures. Enoch is one of the most important of these to know.
This edition is just a translation with a preface. There may be others with more commentary, but this is a must read as it is.

I could not have purchased this used in other places for what I paid for a new copy. This experience exceeded my expectations and I will tell others about this great experience.
