The apocryphal Book of Enoch, suppressed by the Church and then lost for many centuries, is believed to have been written in the first century or earlier. This edition-translated by British biblical scholar R. H. CHARLES (1855-1931) and first published in 1917-tells the story of the fallen angels, who appeal to Enoch the Prophet, great-grandson of Noah, to speak with God on their behalf after He banishes them from heaven. Enoch travels to heaven, describing what he sees there in detail, and speaks with the angels and ponders their nature. The book, in its original Hebrew or Aramaic, is believed to have influenced the writers of the New Testament, and while not considered canonical scripture, its apocalyptic themes continue to be highly influential today in modern popular Christian End Times fantasy, such as the Left Behind series. Students of the Bible who wish to explore related texts and those interested in foundational apocalyptic literature will find this book essential reading.

Great Translation
In my opinion, this book should never have been removed from our Bible. It was written for the modern day saints and is full of comfort and hope. In depth information of origin of evil and fallen angels. Contains description of blessings for the saints and the ultimate destruction of all the wicked.....Much can be confirmed in our Bibles. A must read for all who love to study the scriptures.

Important to know to understand NT
Have you noticed that in the NT, there are demons everywhere, water baptism, a "son of man" and a resurrection from the dead? All concepts absent from the OT, but assumed to be common subjects in the NT. Have you noticed references to things like "Michael arguing with the adversary over Moses' body, "and a "third heaven"? Why would these things pop up and be assumed?
While Enoch doesn't cover all of these things, it certainly is the background for several of these things. During the 400 years between Malichi and Matthew, people kept churning out scriptures. Enoch is one of the most important of these to know.
This edition is just a translation with a preface. There may be others with more commentary, but this is a must read as it is.

I could not have purchased this used in other places for what I paid for a new copy. This experience exceeded my expectations and I will tell others about this great experience.
