The Book of Enoch is an ancient Jewish religious work, attributed to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. It is not part of the canonical scriptures for most Jewish or Christian traditions but has exerted significant influence on theology and esoteric traditions. The Book of Enoch is regarded as canonical scripture1 only by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and the Eritrean Orthodox Church. In Judaism, it is considered part of the pseudepigrapha2, meaning it is outside the Hebrew Bible’s authoritative texts.
