D.). The book is more properly referred to as 1 Enoch in order to distinguish it from other books that bore the name Enoch which were composed later than this period (e.g., 2 Enoch, 3 Enoch).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough 1 Enoch was and is not considered canonical Scripture by the majority of Jewis and Christian authorities in antiquity, the book had a very wide readership, including the authors of New Testament books. This fact is well known to scholars who work in the original languages of both the New Testament and 1 Enoch. The content of 1 Enoch can be found in a number of passages in the New Testament as well as certain of its theological conceptions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough the scholarly literature on 1 Enoch is plentiful, no commentary for the interested lay person exists-until now. A Companion to the Book of Enoch: A Reader's Commentary, Volume 1: The Book of the Watchers (1 Enoch 1-36) was written to fill this void and help students of the Bible understand and appreciate this important and influential ancient book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \"reader's commentary\" does not require original language facility on the part of its user. Rather, the purpose of a Reader's Commentary is to help readers of 1 Enoch comprehend what the book's content with greater insight and clarity. Consequently, this Reader's Commentary on 1 Enoch is not written for scholars. Anyone who has decided to devote the time to reading 1 Enoch, perhaps for the first time, will find this resource eminently useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Companion to the Book of Enoch: A Reader's Commentary is based on the translation of 1 Enoch by R. H. Charles (1917). Important original language insights and differences in manuscripts of 1 Enoch are noted and explained as are theological concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1948014300\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781948014304\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Heiser, Michael S., N\/A, N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Defender Publishing LLC\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Defender Publishing LLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Mar 2020)","offer_id":45659332968645,"sku":"9781948014304","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781948014304.jpg?v=1768908313","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/a-companion-to-the-book-of-enoch-a-readers-commentary-vol-i-the-book-of-the-watchers-1-enoch-1-36-a-readers-commentary-vol-i-the-book-of-the","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
