Exploring the Rejection of the Giant Worldview in Christian History

Early Christianity rejected the giant worldview from Genesis six as insane and ridiculous, dismissing it as wild myths without providing reasons. Augustine and Chrysostom in the fifth century played a significant role in critiquing and discrediting this worldview. The book of Enoch, lost for a time, resurfaced in the late 1700s and contained essential narratives about the giant worldview. Later theologians like Luther and Calvin inherited the skepticism towards this worldview from Augustine and Chrysostom, lacking access to the extra-biblical literature that could provide more insights on the topic.
