O Livro de Enoque

The Book of Enoch, an interesting and unknown book to expand knowledge

The Book of Enoch is an ancient Jewish religious work, attributed by tradition to Noah's great-grandfather, Enoch, although modern scholars estimate the first sections (mainly in the Book of the Watchers) from 300 BC, and the last part (Book of Parables) , probably at the end of the first century BC.

"The Scriptures will be given to them, they will believe and rejoice with them, all the righteous will rejoice in learning from them all the ways of justice".

The first sections of the book were composed in the 3rd century BC. The authors depended in part on the Pentateuch and expanded the sections of Genesis, Numbers and Deuteronomy.

The Book of Enoch is an intertestamental book, which is part of the Bible canon of the Coptic Church, but is not accepted as canonical by other Christian churches. The only intact versions of this book that are preserved are in Ge'ez, the liturgical language of the Ethiopian Church, but several parts are known in Greek, Syrian, Armenian, Arabic and Latin and a Coptic fragment. In addition, several fragments were found in Aramaic and one in Hebrew (4Q317) in Qumran. Tradition attributed its authorship to Enoch, Noah's great-grandfather.

The book was published in the first century of our era and is composed of several parts written in the third century BC. C. and I D.C.

The book of Enoch consists of:

- Watchers' Book
- Book of Parables
- Astronomical Book
- Book of Dreams
- The Epistle of Enoc

The early Christians had a great appreciation for the Book of Enoch, as can be seen in the canonical epistles of Judas (6 and 14-16) and 2 Peter (2: 4), as well as the non-canonical of Barnabas and the writings of Justin Martyr 100-165), Athenagoras (170); Tatian (110-172); Irineu, bishop of Lyon (115-185); Clement of Alexandria (150-220); Tertullian (160-230); Lactantius (260-325) and also those of Metodio de Filipo, Minucius Felix, Comodiano and Prisciliano (m.

Undoubtedly, the Book of Enoch was widely known and appreciated in the Jewish world and later inherited by the early Christians, who were largely responsible for preserving it in other languages. The Book of Enoc is classified as pseudoepigraphic because its content is attributed to this legendary descendant of Adam, although the content and the problems they narrate are clearly of later origin.
