Let's dive into this episode.

The book of Enoch about the fallen watchers, the human women, the bloodthirsty giants, should Christians read it? Since Jude quotes it, why is it not included in the Bible

as part of the canon? Who wrote this book?

And what is this book all about?

In this video, we're going to dive a deeper look into this book.

It's a mysterious book.

And it has gained a lot of traction lately, not just among Christians,

but also among those who are into New Age and other religions. So first and foremost, what is this?

The Book of Enoch is an ancient book with five separate parts by different authors,

plus segments from the Book of Noah thrown in there for good measure.

Who wrote this book? Actually, nobody knows who wrote this book. The authorship of the book of

Enoch, like many other ancient books, is not very clear. It is attributed to Enoch, the great

grandfather of Noah, but it was not actually written by him. Enoch is considered a legendary figure,

and the attribution to him is part of this work that's called

pseudopigrapha. It's the writings of people that are actually not true writers of these works,

meaning that the true authors used his name to give the extra aura of ancient wisdom and authority, but Enoch actually

never wrote this book. The book of Enoch was most likely written by multiple authors over several

centuries, with estimates ranging from 3rd century BC to 1 century AD.

This period of time is known as the second temple period in Jewish history.

It's a time where there was a lot of religious writing and thought outside of the Hebrew Bible.
