This beautifully crafted edition of the Book of Enoch was created through the collaborative effort of Timothy Alberino and the Blurry Creatures podcast (Nathan Henry and Luke Rodgers).
This complete edition of the Book of Enoch includes all three versions bearing the name of the fabled pre-Flood patriarch: 1 Enoch (R. H. Charles, 1917), 2 Enoch (W. R. Morfill, 1896), and 3 Enoch (Hugo Odeberg, 1928). A scholarly introduction of the texts, as well as extensive commentary on the Book of the Watchers (1 Enoch 1-36), is supplied by acclaimed author Timothy Alberino, whose unique insights into the Enochian tale will enrich (and challenge) your paradigm of the antediluvian world. The incredible events recorded in 1 Enoch are vividly brought to life in a series of conceptual scenes accompanied by full-color illustrations.
The Book of Enoch contains one of the oldest stories ever told by the human species on Planet Earth. It is an epic tale of lustful angels, man-eating giants, and portentous visions of the end times. It introduces us to the heavenly Watchers and their earthborn hybrid sons, the mighty Nephilim, unlocking the meaning behind some of the most perplexing passages in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, including the enigmatic verses of Genesis 6:
When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. . . . The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown. (Genesis 6:1-4)
Enoch, the son of Jared and seventh from Adam, is the most eminent pre-Flood patriarch in the annals of ancient Israel, and yet, paradoxically, the Hebrew scriptures have almost nothing to say concerning him. There can be no doubt that the Jews regarded Enoch as a holy scribe and prophet, indeed, the first and foremost on both accounts, but not a single word is attributed to him in the Old Testament. One is left to wonder, If Enoch is a scribe, then what did he write? And if a prophet, what did he prophesy?
The answers to these questions are revealed in the Book of Enoch.
Preserved for centuries by the Ethiopians, and discovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls in the Caves of Qumran, the Book of Enoch is an epic narrative concerning the world before the Flood of Noah. Laced with messianic prophecies, apocalyptic themes, and esoteric visions, the Enochian tale recounts the fall of the Watchers—a renegade group of angels who impregnated human women, progenerated man-eating giants, and disclosed forbidden knowledge from heaven that wreaked havoc on Earth. Enoch lays an essential foundation for understanding the origin of Nephilim and demons in the biblical text, and offers a unique window into the religious and intellectual currents of the Second Temple period.
After centuries of suppression and obscurity, the Book of Enoch has resurfaced in our time and is enjoying a renewed interest among scholars and ordinary readers alike, who are rediscovering the Hebraic perception of the pre-Flood world and the extraordinary events that precipitated its cataclysmic destruction.
