ON SALE FOR SHORT TIME.Reduced from $21.99 for short time only.NOT A PUBLIC DOMAIN VERSION!!!This is a NEW (2010) easy-to-read translation by ancient languages scholar Dr. A. Nyland and is NOT one of the many century-old public domain translations of Enoch NOR IS IT A REWORDED PUBLIC DOMAIN VERSION of Enoch. Great advances which have been made in ancient word meaning in the last twenty years were unknown to the translators of the public domains of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Despite the current trend for non-translators to reproduce public domain versions, both as is and slightly reworded, as a commercial venture, be aware that such public domain versions do not take advantage of recent scholarship in word meaning or any corrections in translation.

This new translation by Dr A. Nyland contains all three Enochian books:1 Enoch (The Ethiopic Book of Enoch)2 Enoch (The Slavonic Book of Enoch, The Secrets of Enoch). This volume contains the extended version of 2 Enoch, The Exaltation of Melchizedek.3 Enoch (The Hebrew Book of Enoch)Note that this is Dr. Nyland's translation and NOT a public domain work.1 Enoch tells of the Watchers, a class of angel, who taught humans weapons, spell potions, root cuttings, astrology, astronomy, and alchemies. The Watchers also slept with human women and produced the Nephilim. For this, they were imprisoned and cast into Tartarus.

This is also mentioned in the New Testament. In 2 Enoch, two angels take Enoch through the 7 heavens. This volume contains the extended version of 2 Enoch, The Exaltation of Melchizedek. In 3 Enoch, Enoch ascends to heaven and is transformed into the angel Metatron. This is about the Merkabah and is of interest to Kabbalists. People interested in Theosophy and Rosicrucianism will find this book invaluable.There are copious background notes and cross references to Bible verses.This book is an easy to read translation with cross references and notes.

One reviewer (see below) described the extensive commentary well: "The book is very unbiased and objective, even in the additional "commentary" parts that are scattered numerously throughout the book. Thankfully, Dr. Nyland does not fall trap to the grating, presumptuous mistake that most religiously oriented supplementary book authors do; that mistake being injecting his/her own ideas into the work and treating that as if their own conjecture and speculation is God's inspired word as well (a very arrogant, annoying practice, if you ask me). Rather, the author takes a very scholarly approach by merely presenting the material untouched, and then by giving context to certain terms that appear in the writings themselves. Certain names and terms may be unfamiliar to most (there were many terms I really had no idea about), so there will be a box that informatively tells you what that term meant to people of the time it was written, and may even show you some scriptures that specifically refer to that very same subject.".
