Description
R. H. Charles's translation of the Book of Enoch made an ancient apocalypse accessible to English readers. Enoch, Noah's great-grandfather, tours heaven and hell in visions and reports the coming judgment. The New Testament's letter of Jude quotes the book, yet most churches excluded it from the Bible; Ethiopia's church treasured and preserved it.
The fallen Watchers, angels who took human wives and taught forbidden arts, dominate the early chapters, filling gaps Genesis leaves about giants and corruption before the flood. Later sections unfold calendars, parables, and woes against the rich and unjust. Early Jewish and Christian ideas about angels, demons, and the end times run through it.
