“To describe in short compass the Book of Enoch is impossible.” I personally believe this book to be exactly what it perports to be--the authentic writings of Enoch, son of Jared, mentioned in Genesis 5. In typing the entire text and researching Scriptural commentary for presentation on this website, I have been intensely convicted of its value to us at this time. In particular, Enoch’s Second Vision presents so accurate a preview of earth’s history as would be impossible to have fabricated.
The translator, by contrast, believed the book “comes from many writers and almost as many periods.” The breadth of knowledge and wisdom Enoch possessed well enabled him to write the variety of material found herein. “Much space is devoted to the calendar and the heavenly bodies and their movements,” information invaluable to us today. Notes from the Translator’s Preface.

The Book of Jubilees “is a production of the first Christian century, . . . undoubtedly the work of a Palestinian Jew and written in Hebrew. . . . Just to what particular school of Jewish thought it owes its origin would be difficult to decide.” While this book is generally not considered to provide authentic history for the period covered, from Adam to the Exodus of Israel from Egypt, yet it is insightful reading and may prove to be a thought-provoking complement to The Book of Jasher, which is accepted as fully authentic.
