The Book of Enoch (also known as 1 Enoch) is one of the most fascinating and debated texts in biblical history. It is directly quoted in the New Testament, specifically in the book of Jude, and its themes echo in the words of Jesus and Peter. Though it did not make it into the Protestant canon, it has always been part of the Ethiopian Bible and was widely read and referenced by early Jewish and Christian communities. In this post, Johnny Enlow offers a reasoned, grounded primer on what 1 Enoch is actually about, why it matters for us today, and how to approach it with both curiosity and discernment.
