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.
