Intriguing and Insightful

The Book of Enoch has been on my “been meaning to” list for quite some time. As a daily reader of the acknowledged Bible, the briefly mentioned “Enoch” has always intrigued me. The righteous prophet who was suddenly “taken up” by God. And when I learned that there’s an entire collection of his that was excluded from the canonical Bible, I knew I had to read it.

Finally, I got the chance.

The Book of Enoch is a fascinating comprehensive collection of cosmological reflections, apocalyptic visions, and accounts of fallen angels. While the translation is fluid and easy to follow, it still maintains some archaic language, which might not be easily digestible for some. Personally, I prefer the text to be as close to the original as possible—which is exactly what this version gave.

The flow and organization are well done. There’s an insightful commentary at the end of each ‘book’, which I greatly appreciate. However, I do wish the commentaries were more in-depth and expanded on for better understanding/perspective of the passages. But that’s most likely *not* the objective of this edition. The hunger for more is all on *me*, not the book!
I liked the narrator enough, he had the right amount of verve and fervor for the material—albeit a tad bit speedy with his words (I did have to reduce the playback speed to get a nice immersive pace that these passages, and archaic language, require.)

All in all, I’m happy to have finally read The Book of Enoch. I particularly enjoyed “The Book of the Watchers” and “Fragments of the Book of Noah” the most.
While “The Astronomical Book” made my eyes gloss over—ha!—this is indeed an invaluable source for those of us who are curious about the mysterious missing books. I’ll say that I kind of “get” why it was disregarded from the canonical Bible, but I’ll keep my thoughts on that to myself. It’s better for everyone to read for themselves and form their own opinions.
I’ll be going right back to the beginning to give this a second listen, even slower this time.

Highly recommend!

Interesting

The first part of the Book of Enoch describes the fall of the Watchers, the angels who fathered the angel-human hybrids called Nephilim.

The remainder of the book describes Enoch's revelations and his visits to heaven in the form of travels, visions, and dreams.

It’s a fascinating book with all kinds of interesting insights and some of the things that we think might be in the Bible are actually in the Book of Enoch, things about the names of certain angels and whatnot.
