THE BOOK OF ENOCH. THE COMPLETE COLLECTION Translated with commentary by R.H. Charles

One of the most mysterious books ever written, the Book of Enoch is, in some respects, the most notable extant apocalyptic work outside the canonical Scriptures.It is an ancient Jewish religious work, ascribed by tradition to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah, although modern scholars estimate the older sections (mainly in the Book of the Watchers) to date from about 300 BC, and the latest part (Book of Parables) probably to the first century BC.It contains (among many other subjects) the very dramatic description of how a group of "Angels", also called "watchers", sinned with their protegees, the humans, and were punished by God. The interest on the book has risen lately, as the story it presents seems to agree with other traditions, about the existence of a "race of watchers", responsible for Earth and its development.
