The Book of Enoch A study edition for careful readers
The complete 1913 revised translation of R. H. Charles, presented with the depth, context, and study resources commonly associated with a quality study Bible.
The purpose of this edition is not merely to present Enoch, but to demonstrate how naturally the text lends itself to serious, Bible-centered study.
Why this edition?
The Book of Enoch has fascinated readers for centuries. It is quoted in the New Testament, closely connected with the thought-world of early Christianity, and preserved through an extraordinary historical journey.
This edition invites readers to encounter the text directly, reconsider assumptions that have often prevented it from receiving a fair hearing, and explore difficult passages with the help of commentary, cross references, essays, charts, and appendices.
Three ways to begin
Encounter. Reconsider. Understand.
Each path opens a different door into the same book.
02
Reconsider Its History
Examine the assumptions that have pigeonholed Enoch as a late Jewish creation. Could the book be older than readers are commonly told? Could its own claims deserve a more careful hearing?

A living tradition
The modern recovery of Enoch
The Book of Enoch did not return to modern awareness all at once. Its recovery is a continuing story of preservation, translation, defense, and renewed investigation.
William Whiston
Newton’s colleague, successor as Lucasian Professor at Cambridge, and a passionate advocate for books he believed had become alienated from Scripture. Whiston’s work is a linchpin in the modern revival of interest in Enoch.
John Baty
Baty’s vivid translation drew upon Hoffmann while using the Greek fragments preserved by Syncellus to correct errors. His judgment in a major textual problem was vindicated nearly two centuries later.
