It was a mention in the New Testament by Jude that alerted David Humphries to the existence of The Lost Book of Enoch, one of the greatest examples of early Hebraic literature and part of the canon, widely known by early Christians, until the fourth century, when it was banned by the church authorities and virtually disappeared. Enoch, father of Methuselah and of the seventh generation from Adam, walked with the Archangels who took him up to heaven and revealed to him the secrets of the universe and the future of mankind. He wrote down all he saw and learned for the benefit of his son and future generations. This is the background to the marvellous Apocalyptic vision which bears his name, composed in Aramaic and Hebrew verse between 200bc and 100ad by scholars who regarded themselves as the heirs to the prophets. For 1600 years, the book was lost; then, at the end of the 19th century, an Ethiopic manuscript was discovered. This book is based on scholarly reconstruction of the greatest of the Apocalypse sagas, now available for the first time to a wide audience.

What is the author's purpose ?
13 Mar 2006
By Kohtaro Hayashi
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is unique. It has no chapters and also entirely different order numbers from the standard edition of the Book of Enoch. It seems the author intended to compose the some of a mystical fable. It is acceptable that this type of books may exist. But I cannot understand what this author makes to express really through the Book of Enoch original. Simply, I was interesting in it than some kinds of other the Book of Enoch. For instance, the book by R.K.Brown, or by J.B. Lumpkin.
Admittedly, R.H.Charles' edition in 1912 is the most important book, of course. Among others of the Book of Enoch, I think D.Olson's book is the particularly finest one.
By the way, a book which relates to Enoch was issued in the end of last year, titled "Fallen Angels and the History of Judaism and Christianity" - The Reception of Enochic Literature - by A.Y.Reed.
This book is excellent and outstanding indeed. I believe anyone who read the Book of Enoch sincerely, give their approval on this (her) book.
