The Books of Enoch
Complete edition: Including The Slavonic Secrets and (3) The Hebrew Book of Enoch
in:
Christianity
Summary:
The book compiles three ancient texts attributed to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah: the Ethiopian Enoch (1 Enoch), detailing his visions of heaven and the fall of the angels; the Slavonic Secrets of Enoch (2 Enoch), describing his ascension to heaven; and the Hebrew Book of Enoch (3 Enoch), which recounts his transformation into the archangel Metatron. These texts explore themes of angelology, cosmology, and eschatology, deeply influencing Jewish and Christian mystical traditions.
Key points:
1. Fallen Angels: The Books of Enoch tell of angels, called Watchers, who mated with human women, creating a giant race, the Nephilim. This led to the Great Flood as punishment.
