Before the Flood, a man walked with God and did not die.
Enoch, the seventh from Adam, was carried into the heavens and shown what no living man had seen: the two hundred Watchers who descended upon Mount Hermon and bound themselves by oath; the forbidden knowledge they taught humanity; the giants born of that rebellion; the burning courts of heaven; the prison of the fallen stars; and the judgement appointed for the last days.
Lost to the West for more than a thousand years and preserved in Ethiopia, the Book of Enoch is among the strangest and most visionary works of the ancient world. Quoted in the New Testament, excluded from most biblical canons, and never forgotten, it remains a sweeping account of angels, forbidden wisdom, cosmic journeys, divine justice, and the promised vindication of the righteous.
This edition presents 1 Enoch whole.
The complete text. All 108 chapters of R. H. Charles's landmark 1917 translation are reproduced word for word. Nothing is abridged, summarised, or modernised.
Illuminated throughout The complete testimony unfolds across 639 custom-designed pages and 311 original illustrations created specifically for this edition. Old-master chiaroscuro, luminous gold, and immense apocalyptic imagery give visual form to Enoch's visions while the scripture itself is set within the art.
All five books, entire:
- The Book of the Watchers
- The Book of Parables
- The Book of the Heavenly Luminaries
- The Book of Dream Visions
- The Epistle of Enoch
Here are the oath and descent of the Watchers, the forbidden arts taught to humanity, the rise of the giants, the intercession of the archangels, the prisons of the fallen stars, the journeys beyond the earth, the heavenly tablets, and the visions of judgement.
The old scriptures were once painted, with gold laid upon shadow so that the eye was drawn upward with the words. This edition returns Enoch to that tradition: an ancient testimony kept intact and given a face.
Ancient words, painted in gold and shadow.
