Reseña del libro "The Living Enoch: Chapter by Chapter"

Considered an expert on the Book of Enoch, Dr. Randy Lee Delp has put together a paraphrase of the Book of Enoch, cross referencing biblical texts, to compliment his doctoral dissertation entitled The Impact of the Book of Enoch on Christianity and Other Religions. This paraphrase was made from an analysis of this ancient book translated by Richard Laurence in 1883. The Book of Enoch was not written by Enoch but by his son Methuselah, who was commissioned to preserve his father's memoirs that revealed the visions he had about the spiritual realm. The teachings of Enoch have influenced every major monotheistic religion including Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Zoroastrianism and vestiges can be found in Hinduism and other religions. The footprints of his teachings are seen throughout every generation and the finality of his message has yet to be fulfilled. Jesus and the New Testament writers were not only influenced by the Book of Enoch, they quoted its contents, cited its texts and labeled it as Scripture. Enoch's influence in astronomy, history, religion, education and para-psychology has forged how society thinks today. It is significant to note that the prophet named Enoch, who was born seven generations after Adam and Eve, may be the only person in history, who has had a positive effect on every major and minor religion, while nothing negative is ever spoken about him.
