The Gnosis of Enoch: Three Sacred Books of Ascent, Judgment, and Glory (The Gnosis Series)

The Gnosis of Enoch: Three Sacred Books of Ascent, Judgment, and Glory is a contemporary rendering of the ancient Enochian writings, complete with an introduction and a glossary. It brings together the full scope of the first, second, and third Books of Enoch in one accessible volume, offering clarity to modern readers while preserving the spiritual depth and grandeur of the originals.At the heart of the Enoch tradition lies a vision of the Heavens, the cosmic order, and the destiny of the soul.

This is a vast and intricate revelation of the unseen realms.This edition presents a faithful yet accessible version of the three major Enochian writings:Book 1 — The Ethiopian Book of Enoch reveals the Watchers’ descent, the visions of the heavens, the parables of judgment, and the prophetic calendar of the ages.Book 2 — The Slavonic Book of Enoch recounts Enoch’s ascent through the Seven Heavens and his divine commission to teach righteousness before the Flood.Book 3 — The Hebrew Book of Enoch presents Rabbi Ishmael’s celestial journey and his encounters with the transformed Enoch as the Prince of the Presence.Clear, contemplative, and free of academic footnotes, this edition retains the grandeur of the original works while modernizing the language for today’s spiritual seeker.
