Description :
The Book of Enoch was read and revered across the spectrum
of Second Temple Judaism--those forms of Judaism that
thrived in the Intertestamental period (ca. 500 B.C. to 100 A.
D.). The book is more properly referred to as 1 Enoch in order
to distinguish it from other books that bore the name Enoch
which were composed later than this period (e.g., 2 Enoch, 3
Enoch). Though 1 Enoch was and is not considered canonical
Scripture by the majority of Jewish and Christian authorities in
antiquity, the book had a very wide readership, including the
authors of New Testament books. This fact is well known to
scholars who work in the original languages of both the New
Testament and 1 Enoch. The content of 1 Enoch can be found
in a number of passages in the New Testament as well as
certain of its theological conceptions. Though the scholarly
literature on 1 Enoch is plentiful, no commentary for the
interested lay person exists--until now. A Companion to the
Book of Enoch: A Reader's Commentary, Volume 1: The Book
of the Watchers (1 Enoch 1-36) was written to fill this void and
help students of the Bible understand and appreciate this
important and influential ancient book. This reader's
commentary does not require original language facility on the
part of its user. Rather, the purpose of a Reader's
Commentary is to help readers of 1 Enoch comprehend what
the book's content with greater insight and clarity.
Consequently, this Reader's Commentary on 1 Enoch is not
written for scholars. Anyone who has decided to devote the
time to reading 1 Enoch, perhaps for the first time, will find this
resource eminently useful. A Companion to the Book of Enoch:
A Reader's Commentary is based on the translation of 1
Enoch by R. H. Charles (1917). Important original language
insights and differences in manuscripts of 1 Enoch are noted
and explained as are theological concepts.
