R. H. Charles offers a precise translation of one of the most well-known apocalyptic texts now in print. "The Book of Enoch," sometimes known as "the lost book" of the Bible, appears to have been authored in Palestine in the first and second centuries B.C. by multiple separate authors. The early church fathers accepted it for hundreds of years, but the council of Laodicea in A.D. 364 rejected it. It is now a written relic of the Apocalypse, a passionate monument to hope and the triumph of good over evil in the coming world. It is a crucial document to the origins of Christianity, rife with themes of original sin, fallen angels, demonology, resurrection, and the last judgement.
