Description

Book of Enoch Updated, Paperback by Laurence, Richard; Fortner, Michael D., ISBN 1440442940, ISBN-13 9781440442940, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Th of Enoch was widely read and believed by the Early Church, but came into disfavor by the Roman Catholic Church and became a lost book. Th of Enoch was rediscovered in Egypt in the 18th century having been preserved by the Coptic Church. Unfortunately it was translated and analyzed during a time of great unbelief in God and the Bible. So also the author of the introduction, not the translator, here calls Enoch a work of fiction. He does so because he wants to discredit Christianity, but he only succeeds in authenticating th of Enoch, because of the numerous connections he provides between Enoch and the New Testament. Since this translation and that of R. H. Charles were first published, several copies of th of Enoch were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, which further connects th with the Jews of Palestine in the 1st century. This translation of th of Enoch was once popular, so I have updated the language to make it more readable today by replacing archaic words we no longer use such as “execrate” with the modern equivalent, and changing the Roman Numerals with modern numbers.
