Much of the beginning is spent proving the validity of the resources. Then the text is lined up in columns to compare with modern scripture, including the Christian Bible and the LDS Pearl of Great Price to study the book of Enoch. Books of Enoch depicting the story of the great world flood, commonly known in our sphere as the flood of Noah have been uncovered in numerous and different parts of the world, It is a given that some of these stories may have been embellished or portrayed with different details, but there are so many similarities and parallels that it is extremely interesting. Nibley has done an incredible job researching and organizing all this information. The text is easy to read, always intriguing and fascinating. You read about Noah's flood and the evil that brought it about, the ascension of Enoch to heaven, Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac, and find information that you've never imagined. Reading the book is akin to doing a research. What is here is presented for your own consideration. The amazing part is that all of it has been brought to light by discovery of apocryphal writings throughout the last centuries. To quote Dr. Nibley:
"We have been told that if we stop seeking, we shall not only find no more but lose the treasures we already have. That is why it is not only advisablie but urgent that we begin at last to pay attention to that astonishing outpouring of ancient writings that is the peculiar blessing of our generation. Among these writings, the first and most important is the book of Enoch."
I am very impressed with all the knowledge captured in Hugh Nibley's research.We must admire him for accomplishing such a monumental task of research and comparison to available scripture today It is presented in an easy to read format, although he never 'dumbs down' for his readers and seems to expect them to put forth an effort into actually studying his books. What you will discover will be well worth the effort. ( )
