The Book of Enoch
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 4/5 from 10 reviews A+I can go on and on how the book of Enoch should be in the Bible. However, each person should read the book for themselfs and come to their own conclusion. If you want to read the book that Jude quotes out of, this is the book to buy. Well put together, large print, clear notes, etc. Mr Brown has done a great job putting this book together. The Books of Enoch are Great but not this translationThe great thing about this book its his numerous references to the Protestant Bible. It would be great if there were some on the apocryphal and pseudepigraphical works but its enought for a Baptiste to juste mentionne the name of Enoch. Indeed, even the translation is an old one of Charles who try to cut the fact that Enoch is the Son of Man. Every scholars admit it know (because they dont have the choice!). Dont buy it if you want a good translation, but if you want good quotation buy it, but you will notice that the author have wrongs presuppositions! Should this be part of the canon?1.If this book is as old as Brown says, or is even just older than Jesus... 2.And the text is translated fairly accurately... then I believe that this text is the real deal. There are many reasons to believe this. First of all, it is referred to in the book of Jude 14,15. This leads me to believe that the text was probably important all the way to around 65-70 A.D. According to Brown, the only complete original text is written in Ethiopian script, and dates to being older than Job (the oldest text of the bible). Keeping all this in mind, when you actually grasp what's in the text, you may be quite shocked. ENOCH 48:2 and in that hour the Son of Man was named... ENOCH 48:4 ...And he shall be the light of the Gentiles... ENOCH 50:3 ...through His name they shall be saved... and check out this verse that ties to Rev 12:1-6... Wow! And that aint the half of it! This book looks to me like it is the brige between Genesis and Revelation. I didn't even get into all of the fallen angel business in this review. Buy this book. It's either the real thing, or its not. Take it as you will. | ||||||||||||||||||
