Hardbound

The Book of Enoch was accepted and loved by Christians during the first three centuries of the church. Its impact on the New Testament and Christian beliefs was profound. It was called scripture by Christ and was obviously considered such by His disciples, the apostles, and the early church fathers. This book is essential to understanding Christianity and the world view that it sprang from. This new edition is the first true “Study Bible” type text of the Book of Enoch based on recent scholarship. It seeks to include information relevant to a general reader up to a scholar specializing in 1 Enoch. This text (First Century Version) of 1 Enoch, was painstakingly derived in its entirety from primary sources, as translated by elite scholars in the field. Scholars referenced include Charles, Milik, Knibb, Charlesworth, Isaac, Black, Wise, Cook, Nickelsburg, VanderKam, Olsen, Heiser, Boccaccini, Wright, Stuckenbruck, Tiller, Sacchi, Golb, and others. The base text of the Book of Enoch is the First Century Version, which is highly accurate, while at the same time having engaging readability. The 2251 footnotes include alternate readings, commentary, and relevant scholarly quotes. The approximately 4725 external cross references supply links to the Old Testament, New Testament, Apocrypha, Dead Sea Scrolls, Jubilees, second temple literature, first and second century AD Jewish writings, the writings of Josephus, early Christian Church fathers and rabbinic texts. Each section is introduced with author, date, and other information particular to that book. Numerous breakout articles are included which explore topics related to the text. Included are the most extensive subject and scripture indexes ever developed for the Book of Enoch. This edition is a must for interested persons, students, teachers, pastors, and scholars. Rather than just reading the Book of Enoch, this volume will quickly bring you to an advanced level of understanding. This is a one-of-a-kind resource for the study of the non-canonical book Jesus called scripture!
