Enoch: A New Translation (2004) is a book by Daniel C. Olson, in consultation with Melkesedek Workeneh.

Abstract

English translation of the First Book of Enoch, with annotations and cross-references. Knows 60 mss., of which 11 are Eth. 1 and are selectively used in service of the translation.

"It is written that the patriarch Enoch "walked with God; and he was not, for God took him" (Gen 5:24). A strange body of writings grew up around this mysterious figure who never died, writings that were eventually collected in the Book of Enoch. Once highly regarded by both Jews and Christians, the Book of Enoch is indispensable reading for all students of early Judaism and the beginnings of Christianity. Enoch: A New Translation is in many ways a unique edition of this ancient work: Only translation of the Book of Enoch that takes into account all of the available manuscript evidence ... Fluent, natural English style ... Full cross-references between the Bible and Enoch ... Cross-references between the various parts of Enoch ... Convenient notes and commentary, written for the general reader and student as well as the scholar and specialist."--Publisher description.
