The Book of Enoch: Origins of Evil and Church Fathers
Category: origins book
The premise of the Book of Enoch is that rebel angels took on human bodies to fulfill their lust for the "daughters of men" and taught them to build weapons of war. This text was cherished by the Essenes, early Jews, and Christians, but later condemned by both rabbis and Church Fathers. Elizabeth Clare Prophet explores the controversy surrounding this book and provides new insights into Enoch's forbidden mysteries. She reveals that Jesus and the apostles studied the Book of Enoch and explains why Church Fathers suppressed its teachings about angels incarnating in human bodies.
In "Fallen Angels and the Origins of Evil," Prophet delves into the ancient drama of Good and Evil, tracing the moment when corruption first tainted the pristine world of Earth. The book includes Richard Laurence's translation of the Book of Enoch, as well as other Enoch texts like the Book of the Secrets of Enoch, along with biblical parallels. This comprehensive collection offers a deeper understanding of the origins of evil and the role of fallen angels in shaping the course of human history.
