Harold Roth tackles complicated texts like the books of Enoch and Jubilees alongside traditions like Merkavah mysticism and Christian demonology and, in plain language, gives the clearest and best examination of the Watchers and the Nephilim that I have come across yet.\" -Jason Miller, author of Consorting with Spirits and other books The Book of Enoch has captured and commanded interest for the past two thousand years. Sometimes part of religious canon and doctrine, and sometimes outright banned, the Book of Enoch is more popular today than ever. Still many questions remain. Who was Enoch? Who-or what-were the Watchers, and what knowledge did they bring? What became of their wives and their children, the rapacious half-man, half-angel giants, the Nephilim? From Renaissance magic of Dr. John Dee and early Christian apocalyptic texts, to contemporary conspiracy theories and modern magical angelology, the Book of Enoch has been influential in many spiritual and religious traditions. What has been missing from the various approaches to the Book of Enoch are any real attempts to find not only what is at the center of these stories but also their connections to magic. The Forbidden Knowledge of the Book of Enoch identifies and elucidates those connections.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781578638123","publication_date":"20250311","publisher":"Red Wheel Weiser LLC","slug":"the-forbidden-knowledge-of-the-book-of-enoch","subtitle":"The Watchers, Nephilim, Fallen Angels, and the End of the World","title":"The Forbidden Knowledge of the Book of Enoch"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"REL067010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Angels & Demons","score":0.777,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"REL040060","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Kabbalah & Jewish Mysticism","score":0.7349,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"REL067060","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Eschatology","score":0.7276,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"REL067010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Angels & Demons","score":0.777,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"REL040060","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Kabbalah & Jewish Mysticism","score":0.7349,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"REL067060","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Eschatology","score":0.7276,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"OCC020000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Prophecy","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"OCC031000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Ancient Mysteries & Lost Knowledge","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"REL006790","confidence_band":"high","label":"Apocrypha & Deuterocanonical Commentary","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Angels & Demons","score":0.777,"slug":"angels-demons"},{"label":"Kabbalah & Jewish Mysticism","score":0.7349,"slug":"kabbalah-jewish-mysticism"},{"label":"Eschatology","score":0.7276,"slug":"eschatology"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers who enjoy Angels & Demons","Good for readers interested in magic","Good for readers who enjoy Angels & Demons and Kabbalah & Jewish Mysticism."],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Billy Graham"],"book_id":"9781400336616","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781400336616.jpg?v=20260418T162306Z%3A2026-04-19T10%3A16%3A55Z","score":11.5804,"title":"Angels","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781400336616"},{"authors":["Perry Stone","Marc Thompson","Faith Words","& 0 more"],"book_id":"9781546035305","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781546035305.jpg?v=20260418T162306Z%3A2026-04-19T10%3A16%3A55Z","score":11.5799,"title":"This Season of Angels","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781546035305"},{"authors":["Geoffrey W.
