The book of Enoch was thought to be lost for over 2,000 years until, in 1773, a traveller brought three copies back from Ethiopia. Whether or not this ancient book was actually authored by Enoch, the father of Methuselah and great-grandfather of Noah, is an ongoing debate among historians and theologians. But all recognise the book of Enoch as one of the most important apocalyptic works outside of the Bible.

The Book of Enoch is an ancient Jewish text attributed to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. It explores themes of divine judgment, angels, and the nature of sin. The book describes the Watchers, fallen angels who mated with humans, producing Nephilim, and their eventual punishment. Enoch ascends to heaven, receiving revelations about the cosmos, the future, and the coming Messiah. Though not part of most biblical canons, it influenced early Christian thought. It emphasizes righteousness, divine justice, and humanity's accountability before God. Summary by Beauty_23
