Is the Book of Enoch in the Bible?
Not in Protestant, Catholic or most Orthodox Bibles. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church counts it as Scripture. It was written in the last centuries before Christ, long after Genesis. Jude 14-15 quotes a line from it, much as Paul quotes Greek poets in Acts 17:28, without making the whole book Scripture.
Who was Enoch in the Bible?
Two men have the name. One is Cain’s son (Genesis 4:17). The better known is the father of Methuselah, who “walked with God” and was taken by God without dying (Genesis 5:24, Hebrews 11:5).
Is it a sin to read the Book of Enoch?
The Bible does not forbid reading old books outside it. Christians who read Enoch read it as an ancient Jewish writing that the first Christians knew, not as Scripture, and test what it says against the Bible (1 Thessalonians 5:21).
