Focusing on the theology of the book of Enoch, this work offers a fresh perspective on the Old and New Testaments, addressing longstanding issues within biblical studies. It argues that the book of Enoch reveals essential insights into Israel's pre-exilic religion, which were obscured by reformers during the Second Temple period. The text highlights how these reformers attempted to erase older religious practices, leaving behind enigmatic themes and imagery in certain Pseudepigrapha that provide valuable context for understanding biblical texts.
