The Book of Enoch

THE BOOK OF ENOCH

What Is the Book of Enoch and Why Isn’t It in the Bible?

It’s quoted in the New Testament.

Fragments were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls.

It has been preserved in the Ethiopian Bible for centuries.

So what exactly is the Book of Enoch and why is it missing from most Bibles today?

This FREE Study Guide & Reading Companion explores the fascinating history of 1 Enoch, what it actually contains, its connection with Genesis, Jude and the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the different reasons biblical communities reached different conclusions about its place in Scripture.

This guide does NOT tell you that the Book of Enoch must be accepted as Scripture — or that it should simply be dismissed.

Instead, it separates what the Bible says about Enoch, what the Book of Enoch itself says, and what later communities decided about it, giving you the evidence to study and consider for yourself.

Perfect for personal Bible study, small groups, or anyone curious about one of the most discussed ancient books connected with Scripture.
