Book of Enoch

The Book of Enoch is an Old Testament pseudepigraphal apocrypha written by Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. The title is mentioned in the Bible (Jude 14), but there is debate over whether Jude was actually referring to this book or not.

The Douay Rheims version of the Bible included parts of this book and it is part of the official canon of the Ethiopic Church but it is not considered inspired by Protestants or Catholics. The book was discredited after the Council of Laodicea in 364 and was not included in the King James Version of the Bible. The book is one of the Dead Sea scrolls.
