About this eBook

Translator Hoffmann, Andreas Gottlieb, 1796-1864
Title Das Buch Henoch
Summary "The Book of Enoch" by Andreas Gottlieb Hoffmann is a historical account, likely written in the early 19th century. This text serves as a comprehensive translation and commentary on the ancient Jewish text known as the Book of Enoch, which delves into themes of divine judgment, the nature of sinners and the righteous, and apocalyptic visions. It prominently features the character of Enoch, a biblical figure who, through visions, unveils the heavenly realms and the fate awaiting humanity. The opening of "Das Buch Henoch" introduces readers to the significant themes and elements within this text. It begins with Enoch blessedly proclaiming his visions of the heavens, conveying messages from angels about impending judgments and the ultimate fate of the unrighteous. Enoch recounts his experiences while being transported to celestial locations where divine secrets are revealed, such as the nature of creation, the workings of the heavenly bodies, and the complexities of sin among humans, which particularly arises from the troubling interactions between angels and human beings. As Enoch becomes an important intermediary between the divine and humanity, he emphasizes the contrast between the destined peace for the righteous and the severe consequences awaiting the wicked.
