Product Description
Book Description
Did rebel angels take on human bodies to fulfill their lust for the daughters of men? Did these fallen angels teach men to build weapons of war? That is the premise of the Book of Enoch, a text cherished by the Essenes, early Jews and Christians, but later condemned by both rabbis and church fathers. Elizabeth Clare Prophet examines the controversy surrounding this book and sheds new light on Enoch's forbidden mysteries. She demonstrates that Jesus and the apostles studied the book and tells why church fathers suppressed its teaching that angels could incarnate in human bodies. Contains all the Enoch texts, including the Book of Enoch, and biblical parallels to the Book of Enoch.

I mean, c'mon, her last name is Prophet,
By Ian Driscoll "author of Atlantis: Egyptian Ge... (New York, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fallen Angels and the Origins of Evil: Why Church Fathers Suppressed The Book Of Enoch And Its Startling Revelations (Mass Market Paperback)
The doctrine this woman espouses is sheer nonsense. She uses a healthy dose of speculation and mysticism and combines it with a grain of truth, and in the end (sadly) she would have an uninformed reader eating out of the palm of her hand. Look folks, take it from me, I've been reading what many people term "pseudo-history" for a decade now, and this type of unfounded garbage is what gives the entire subject a bad name. She and her lot do nothing but detract from the credibility of an otherwise logical and historically sound genre. The only reason I'd buy this book is the added translations of the Book of Enoch, the Book of the Secrets of Enoch and the Book of Jubilees. But if that's all you're after, I'd suggest the R.H. Charles translation (which is highly praised as the most authoritative) as opposed to Richard Laurence, who's a wee bit too fluffy for me. In conclusion, the whole work was heavy handed, extremely esoteric and chalk full of baseless mysticism and speculative trash. But what else would you expect from a woman who's last name is Prophet? ...good lord

Was expecting something more historical,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fallen Angels and the Origins of Evil: Why Church Fathers Suppressed The Book Of Enoch And Its Startling Revelations (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm guessing I missed something in the book description, but I was expecting detailed information on the origins of the book of Enoch, how it was suppressed, by whom it was suppressed, and how it reappeared. It contains some of that information (less than 90 pages), but nothing I hadn't already found for free on the web. The bulk of this book is translations of the various Enoch texts along with other non-canonical texts. If you are looking for those texts, then it's a good buy. But if you are looking for more of the historical details of the Enoch texts, I would pass on this one.

Keep baby, throw out bathwater,
By "rwmk5" (london, ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fallen Angels and the Origins of Evil: Why Church Fathers Suppressed The Book Of Enoch And Its Startling Revelations (Mass Market Paperback)
Good translation of enoch from liberation perspective. I approached Clare with a grain of salt, and tried to consider her target audience when she was writing this intro to the text. If she is using metaphor to get accross her point then she is smarter than people are giving her credit, but then maybe I'm giving her too much credit. The interesting idea behind the book that no other reviewer mentions is its association of the watchers with the world's ruling elites, which Clare does touch upon to her credit. Credit also goes towards Clare for bringing the text to a wider readership. While they exist, you won't find any other copies of this text in a bookstore. Translation alone worth the small sticker price.
