Is the church hiding the book of Enoch? Tim Stables, next.

Hello, and welcome to Focus the Captionance.

This was podcast for living, understanding, and defending your Catholic faith.

I'm Sykelle at your host, and all around the internet,

you will find references to the book of Enoch.

Some of them claiming that this apocalyptic book should be in the Bible,

or is too shocking to be in the Bible, or in one way or another, it's being withheld

from the world by people who just don't want you to know the truth, the secret truth hidden.

Enoch is actually a biblical figure.

Quite a few references are made to Enoch in both the new and the old

testaments, all the way back to the very beginning in Genesis.

And the book of Enoch is referenced in the New Testament.

So what's the deal with this book?

And not only that, it's a fascinating book with all kinds of interesting insights,

and some of the things that we think might be in the Bible are actually in the book of Enoch,

you know, things about the names of certain angels and whatnot.

So what gives? Why isn't it in the Bible?

Is the church hiding it?

Is there secret knowledge there that we are somehow being forbidden from consuming?

We asked Tim Stables, and here's what he had to say.

Well, first of all, Tim Stables, thanks for being here to talk with us about the book of Enoch.

And it's wonderful to be with you, my friend.
