Title: The Book of Enoch Explained Channel: ReligionForBreakfast (Dr. Andrew Henry) Length: 14:59

Book of Enoch is over 100 chapters long; Enoch himself is barely mentioned in the canonical books - in Genesis he "walked with God" and then "God took him." Book of Enoch was very popular in early church and is even cited in the Book of Jude.

There are actually 3 books of Enoch; this video is about Book 1. Oldest parts date to 4th or 3rd c. BC, but most complete manuscripts are from 15th or 16th c. and written in Ge'ez. Probably written in Aramaic, then Greek, then Ge'ez. Portions found in Dead Sea Scrolls.

Makes brief Genesis mention of Nephilim & expands them to a society of "Watchers" led by Shemihaza. Is one of the oldest apocalyptic tales in Judaism & influences other books of the Bible. The Book of Enoch has been rejected by modern Judaism (excepting 3rd Enoch), but is important in Kabbalah. Fell out of favor with Christians by 4th c. when important leaders like Augustine rejected it. It is canon in the Ethiopian Orthodox church.

Enoch (Idris) is also in Islam and, like the Bible, his mention is short and ambiguous.

Blessed is the crisis that made you grow, the fall that made you gaze up to Heaven, the problem that made you look for God.

Orthodox also have nuns and monks, but my knowledge ends at the strictly male-only monastic community at Mount Athos

Ok well not to be rude to the Orthodox Church but I was mostly right. Plus I think I would have a hard enough time joining Catholic nuns as a non catholic, don’t you have to be Greek or Russian or Serbian to join an Orthodox Church?

Please tell me more about what the men are doing on Mount Athos though
