Judaism: Although evidently widely knownduring the development of the Hebrew Bible canon,1 Enoch was excluded from both the formal canon of the Tanakh andthe typical canon of the Septuagint and therefore, also from the writings knowntoday as the Deuterocanon. The Book of Enoch written prior to 300 BC, it is an ancient Jewish religious work, ascribed by tradition to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah, although modern scholars estimate the older sections (mainly in the Book of the Watchers) to date from about 300 BC, and the latest part (Book of Parables) probably to the first century BCīackground on the Book of Enoch (wikipedia extract).

Tertullian (160-230 C.E) even called the Book of Enoch “Holy Scripture”. S econd and Third Century “Church Fathers” like Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Origin and Clement of Alexandria all make use of the Book of Enoch. The early second century “Epistle of Barnabus” makes much use of the Book of Enoch. The earliest literature of the so-called “Church Fathers” is filled with references to this mysterious book. It was considered scripture by many early Christians. The Book of Enoch was extant centuries before the birth of Christ and yet is considered by many to be more Christian in its theology than Jewish.

The quote in (Jude 14-15) & (1 Enoch 1:9) reads as follows: “In the seventh (generation) from Adam Enoch also prophesied these things, saying: ‘Behold, the Lord came with his holy myriads, to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners spoke against him’.” A book which is actually quoted not only by Jude, but also James the natural brother of Jesus, & by Peter.
