There Was No Conspiracy to Suppress the Book of Enoch: A Response to Tim Alberino

Apologetics
Written By David Wilber

Does the Book of Enoch (1 Enoch) actually bear witness to Jesus, and could that be the reason it was excluded from the Jewish canon? Tim Alberino argues that it does, and that this was a deliberate move by Judaism to hide the truth about the Messiah.

In this short video, I address that claim. Along the way, I also mention a significant contradiction between 1 Enoch and the New Testament, consider the status of 1 Enoch in the Ethiopian Orthodox canon, reflect on what early Christian writer Tertullian had to say about it, and touch on the popularity of the Enochic traditions during the Second Temple period.
