Of course, we’re talking about the Book of Enoch—or, more accurately, the Book of 1 Enoch. (There are a 2 Enoch and 3 Enoch, both written during the Christian era. They really aren’t of much use to Christians.) Dr. Judd Burton ( www.BurtonBeyond.net ), author of Interview with the Giant ; Doug Van Dorn ( www.douglasvandorn.com ), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods ; and Brian Godawa ( www.Godawa.com ), best-selling author of the theological thriller Cruel Logic and the new novels Judah Maccabee Parts 1 & 2 , join us to discuss 1 Enoch and why it’s attracted so much attention and generated so many arguments between Christians. We discuss the significance of the Book of 1 Enoch, exploring its structure, relevance, and the controversies surrounding its place in Christian theology. We explore 1 Enoch’s connections to the New Testament, particularly the concept of the Son of Man, and its historical importance in shaping early Christian thought. The discussion also highlights the geographical context of the book and its influence on understanding biblical narratives. Our new book The Gates of Hell is now available in paperback , Kindle , and as an audiobook at Audible !
