D.). The book is more properly referred to as 1 Enoch in order to distinguish it from other books that bore the name Enoch which were composed later than this period (e.g., 2 Enoch, 3 Enoch).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough 1 Enoch was and is not considered canonical Scripture by the majority of Jewis and Christian authorities in antiquity, the book had a very wide readership, including the authors of New Testament books. This fact is well known to scholars who work in the original languages of both the New Testament and 1 Enoch. The content of 1 Enoch can be found in a number of passages in the New Testament as well as certain of its theological conceptions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough the scholarly literature on 1 Enoch is plentiful, no commentary for the interested lay person exists-until now. A Companion to the Book of Enoch: A Reader's Commentary, Volume 1: The Book of the Watchers (1 Enoch 1-36) was written to fill this void and help students of the Bible understand and appreciate this important and influential ancient book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \"reader's commentary\" does not require original language facility on the part of its user. Rather, the purpose of a Reader's Commentary is to help readers of 1 Enoch comprehend what the book's content with greater insight and clarity. Consequently, this Reader's Commentary on 1 Enoch is not written for scholars. Anyone who has decided to devote the time to reading 1 Enoch, perhaps for the first time, will find this resource eminently useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Companion to the Book of Enoch: A Reader's Commentary is based on the translation of 1 Enoch by R.
