: Steve,
: I am excited to have this information now. It really fills in some gaps for me. I feel that the research that is being down in relation to such texts is vital. Thanks again. On a side note, I read something called Enoch years ago. In it there were different sections, one which described judgement of sin and demons I believe, and then there was the description of Enoch's journey to heavenly realms where he witnessed animal-like beings worshipping God. This is all I know. I was in junior high when I read this. Does this match the description of the 1 Enoch you mentioned?
Yes, that sounds like 1 Enoch. Quite a trip. ;-)
You can access both a brief introduction to Enoch and the entire text of Ethopic Enoch here: Old Testament Pseudepigrapha at Wesley Center Online
This page has miscellaneous links on 1 Enoch, some good. It also assembles some scholarly comments on 1 Enoch, though with no transitions or narrative it may be a bit confusing. 1 Enoch at Early Jewish Writings
