Description

Itwas a mention in the New Testament by Jude that alerted David Humphries to theexistence of The Lost Book of Enoch, one of the greatest examples of earlyHebraic literature and part of the can, widely known by early Christians, untilthe fourth century, when it was banned by the church authorities and virtuallydisappeared. Enoch, father of Methuselah and of the seventh generation fromAdam, walked with the Archangels who took him up to heaven and revealed to himthe secrets of the universe and the future of mankind. He wrote down all he sawand learned for the benefit of his son and future generations. This is thebackground to the marvelous Apocalyptic vision, which bears his name, composedin Aramaic and Hebrew verse between 200bc and 100ad by scholars who regardedthemselves 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 theApocalypse sagas, w available for the first time to a wide audience.
