The Ethiopian church deserves credit for preserving the full version of the book and for accepting it as canon for 2000 years

Metatron sounds like a transformer, every time he mentions metatron all I see is a biblical transformer.

Enoch must have been an established figure before the writing of Genesis. There's no way they just offhandedly remarked that "God took him" without the reader being expected to already know the full story.

I read Enoch when I was much younger and what struck me was the parallels between the watchers and the Greek gods in their interactions with humans. Teaching, corrupting, interbreeding and playing at warfare with humans or demigods as champions or pawns. Back when I believed these things literally it seemed like a potential explanation for other religions at the time, now of course it is more obviously due to cultural contact and the spread of ideas around the Mediterranean.

I do not believe that the Book of Enoch was a "spin-off" at all! In fact, there is evidence that it is much older than the Bible and was already a widely known part of literature when the Bible was written, hence there was no reason to elaborate when it was briefly mentioned in the Bible. The writer assumed everyone already knew what he was talking about, probably because they did! It is a complex piece of literature that should be respected.

The Book of Enoch was originally so popular because it was LITERALLY lore for the Bible

The person who came up with the name Metatron deserves a raise.

Enoch is a fascinating book. Reading the Biblical texts can be a surreal experience because it mentions drastic events, that today we would chronicle in detail, very offhandedly as if they aren’t worth recording.

Am I the only one who hummed, "More than meets the eye!" When he said that Enoch transformed into Metatron?

Bear in mind an important fact when reading Enoch: Firstly there are three books of Enoch. In antiquity they spoke of only one. Scholars are fairly sure that there are two different authors. The author of the first book, written before Christ. And the author of both the second, and the third books, dated to after Christ. They compare phrasing and language that differs between the two. As well as language usage in the different eras. When purchasing an edition of "The book of Enoch.", you usually will have all three books, in the one volume.

There's a very enochian figure in ancient sumerian texts who very well can be the source of the later sons of angels and men parts of the book of Enoch, in fact a lot of the poetics match it very highly

It makes sense that Sadducees who were more concerned about preserving tradition rejected the supernatural, therefore Enoch would have been disqualified simply because it alluded to the supernatural.
Interesting presentation

"Spin-off literature." The scholarly way of saying "fan fiction".

Whenever people get fed up, it is time to say, "Enoch is Enoch!" and just rise above it all.

3 Enoch is Hekhalot Literature which is the pre cursor to the later Kabbalistic form of mysticism. It’s a very tough read if your not familiar with OT allegory and such.

"We've already had Enoch."
