More Description"The Books of Enoch" refer to a collection of ancient Jewish texts attributed to Enoch, a biblical figure and ancestor of Noah. The books are believed to have been written in the third century BCE and were highly influential in Jewish and early Christian literature. The texts are made up of three books: the Book of Enoch, the Book of Parables, and the Book of Astronomy.
The Books of Enoch contain a mixture of apocalyptic and mystical writings, describing visions of the heavens, the creation of the world, and the coming of a messianic figure. They also describe the Watchers, a group of fallen angels who mated with human women and gave rise to a race of giants known as the Nephilim. The Books of Enoch have been the subject of much scholarly debate over the years, with some scholars viewing them as important historical and religious texts, while others question their authenticity and religious significance. Nonetheless, the Books of Enoch continue to be studied and discussed by scholars and theologians, and have had a significant impact on various religious traditions.
