1 Enoch Reading Guide (15:1-16:4)

I've posted another Ethiopic reading guide, this time for 1 Enoch 15:1-16:4, a particularly interesting portion of the Book of the Watchers.  Enoch and other Second Temple Jewish texts are of course worthy subjects of study in their own right, but this particular text might be especially relevant for understanding some bits of the New Testament, for example offering a possible answer to the question "who in the world are those demons and why do they keep trying to possess human bodies?" or providing some background for Luke's version of Jesus' response to the Sadducees (Luke 20:34-36).

You can download the reading guide here.


Or if you're not too interested in Ge'ez and want to take a peek at an English translation, you can go here.

  1. I arrived here to look at your website since I needed assistance with one of my tasks. I appreciate the assignment writing service in edinburgh service's assistance, but I worry that I won't finish the study I'm concentrating on in time. I value how frequently you give us this knowledge. Your blog seems to be educational. I learned everything I needed to know from reading your post, and I am now much more equipped to do my research project.
