    Synopsis

    The Book of Enoch the Prophet is the oldest known existing mystical document and is referred to in the Hebrew Zohar, The Epistle of St. Jude, and other ancient books. Legend dates the text to antediluvian times, saved from the flood by Noah himself, while serious scholarship places its origin in the second century B.C.E, as old as ancient Sumeria and Babylon. It reveals a vision of a new age of heaven on earth that figures in esoteric and occult practices.

    March 08, 2009: I was pleasantly surprised with it's inclusion of multiple manuscripts for a self comparison. however, a couple things were confusing, such as when it includes something only found in a specific manuscript. it seems that without the inclusion, the sentence is missing something in other manuscripts. what i mean by this is that there is not an indepth side by side analysis, except for more signficant variances, which takes away from the overall punch. and, i wasn't clear on exactly what they meant by corrupt text; by what standard did they determine that it was a corruption? Also, the commentary was respectable and historically faithful, however some of the opinions provided i did not agree with. I have come upon the conclusion that the book of enoch is inspired, and they claim that it contradicts Revelation of John's view of heaven. I don't believe there is a problem, my biggest issue with this book. Other than that, great book! The problems weren't that bad, and it's an affordable and very fair price to own one of the most important books ever written, which lead to me giving it a 4 for it's richness in the text, rather than the opinions and history lesson.
