In this new Apocryphal Catechism--first since my episode on Gnosticism 2 years ago!--I delve into the mysteries and problematic details of the Book of Enoch and Enochic traditions. In it, I discuss the allegorical meaning of the myth of the Watchers, the expansion of the story of Noah and the mystery of a missing Book of Noah, and the question of whether the Book of Enoch foretold the coming of Christ or if the lore of Christ's life might actually be a retelling of Enoch's legend.
