Book of Enoch
I was recently listening to a top bible teacher about the book of Genesis. He mentioned the book of Enoch a few times, especially on details about Noah and the flood. Just for clarity, he was not preaching out of Enoch, he just referred to it.
I have read the book and it has incredible similarities to Genesis. I has a lot more detail on specific things mentioned Genesis.
The writer of Jude quotes directly out of the book of Enoch. The writer of Hebrews refers to Enoch and we know that Enoch was a very Holy man.
The early church fathers used the book of Enoch but it was eventually put in the apocrypha and then forgotten.
Has anybody here studied this book, does it deserve a closer look? Is it God inspired?
