The Forbidden Knowledge of the Book of Enoch | Free Book
Examines the meaning, context, secrets, and impact in a
clear, accessible, secular, and respectful way so that readers can
make up their own minds about the mysterious Book of
Enoch.
Forbidden knowledge is at the core of the Book of Enoch. Its text
has captured interest from 300 BCE up to the present day. Ancient
people living in the Qumran area of the Land of Israel, to the Near
East, to Ethiopia, and to Eastern Europe have all consulted the Book
of Enoch for their magical and mystical practices. Sometimes part of
religious canon and doctrine, and sometimes outright banned, the
Book of Enoch has persisted for well over 2,000 years. Roth
interprets the content of the Book of Enoch and addresses how that
knowledge has been used in the past and can be useful in the
present. The Forbidden Knowledge of the Book of Enoch shows
that the Book of Enoch remains as vital, if not more so, today as it
has been for centuries.
From Renaissance magic (Dr. John Dee) to early Christian apocalyptic
texts, all the way down to today’s conspiracy theories and modern
magical angelology, the Book of Enoch has been influential in many
spiritual and religious traditions. What has been missing from the
various approaches to the Book of Enoch, more popular today than
ever, has been any real attempt to find not only what is at the
center of these stories but also their connections to magic.
The Forbidden Knowledge of the Book of Enoch finds and
elucidates those connections.
This new work will be useful to magic workers, mystics, those who
work with angels, those interested in Jewish magic and mystical
practices, and those who are simply curious to peek at apocalyptic
visions.
