The first comprehensive examination of the Book of Enoch and its prophecies, origins, and history.

It deeply explores the entire story of Enoch concerning the Watchers, the fallen angels who came to Earth and shared forbidden and corrupting knowledge.

It investigates how Enoch was a vital element of messianic Judaism of the Second Temple, hermetic Judaism, Kabbalah, and the authenticity of myth.

It examines the history of the Book of Enoch and its significant internal branches, including 2 Enoch (the Slavonic "Book of the Secrets of Enoch") and the so-called Hebrew "Book of Enoch" (3 Enoch).

Allegedly written by the prophet Enoch, the ancestor of Noah, the Book of Enoch disappeared for many centuries, except for one part: the Holy Scripture of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, which held the book as canonical.

Revealing the deep influence of the Book of Enoch on world thought over the past two thousand years, Tobias Churton explores the full history of the Book of Enoch and its significant internal branches.

It explains how Enoch was taken to Heaven, where he received personal instruction from God, and thoroughly examines the entire story of Enoch concerning the Watchers, the fallen angels who came to Earth and shared forbidden corrupting knowledge.

It explains how the Book was a vital element of messianic Judaisms of the Second Temple and hermetic Judaism, playing a decisive role in the development of both Kabbalah and the authenticity of myth.

Informed by ongoing studies of the Fallen Treasures, Churton provides the first comprehensive examination of the Book of Enoch, clarifying and correcting many misunderstandings regarding its prophetic and sometimes striking revelations.
