Rating: Summary: Enoch was a resident in Mesopotemia Review: Enoch lived in Mesopotemia, before Abraham and before Moses, so the writer logically should be from Mesopotemia where enoch lived and influnced by Mesopotemian culture.Enoch is summerian, chaldean, and simply to attribute his writings to any body else is simply wrong, same goes for the Kabala book, it reflects the culture and relegious philosphy of Mesopotemia, at Ibraham's time. The Kabala book as well is written by the Chaldeans.
Rating: Summary: The most beautiful of all Apocrypha! Review: I just finished reading this work, also called "2Enoch", and I must say it is the most beautiful and at times even poetic of all the so-called Apocrypha. It's imagery is vivid and it just draws you in! Amazingly, I can't find anything here which contradicts the canonical Bible, so I can imagine Paul or other early Christians perusing this text for some clues as to what Enoch may have actually seen as he "walked with God". I strongly urge you to BUY THIS BOOK!

Rating: Summary: More modern translations available Review: This book is what is now more commonly known as "2 Enoch" (per Charlesworth's OT Pseudepigrapha edition, Doubleday 1983), or "Slavonic Enoch". There seems to be some confusion in the editorial comments. There is no evidence that 2 Enoch, or "Slavonic Enoch" had any direct influence on Origen, Iranaeus or NT writers (Jude, 2Peter, Luke 20 etc.) that distinction goes to 1 Enoch, or "Ethiopian Enoch", most of which is also found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, which Slavonic Enoch is not.
Rating: Summary: Good companion Review: This book takes refrences from the Russian Orthodox version of Enoch. Although many things are not unique or plagerized from older works it's still a very interesting read.
