- Title
THE BOOK OF THE WATCHERS (1 ENOCH 1-36): AN ANTI-MOSAIC, NON-MOSAIC, OR EVEN PRO-MOSAIC WRITING?
- Authors
Bachmann, Veronika
- Abstract
The article discusses the study on the real message of the First Book of Enoch or known as the Book of the Watchers. It refers to the book that tells the story of angels that transgress the boundaries of the cosmic orders of God which can have a disastrous consequence as the heavenly angels intrude the worldly and human sphere to cause chaos and suffering. The author believes that Enoch plays an important role as a messenger from heaven that announces God's condemnation of the angels and their sins.
