| Summary: | The forty-four page bibliography shows how interest in 1 Enoch has grown in recent years; only forty items dealing directly with 1 Enoch were published before 1980. This book draws on a wide range of Enoch-related material, making the important distinction between works that knew the Enoch material and those that operated within its world view (p. 217)., Jackson begins by reviewing the problem of definitions. By examining the Enoch texts found at Qumran, he sets out the writers’ own definitions of themselves, and thereby reveals what they regarded as the true faith. ‘Orthodoxy’ is not an appropriate word to use in this period. |
