Beautifully Crafted Book All Around
I've browsed through several versions of the Book of Enoch in the past several years, but the work that was put into this particular book has already captured my attention more than any other. Not only are all the text related to Enoch compiled together in a way that divides them up and lays them out nicely, but there is solid historical and scholarly commentary for the most significant text of Enoch (The book of the Watchers).I will be honest; I still can't say that I 100% subscribe to Timothy Alberino's perspective on the antediluvian world, but I also can't write it off either. I believe that he has some amazing insight that he has worked very hard on and researched very well. The more I look into the ideas he suggests, the more intrigued I am, and the more they inspire me to pray and consider the Scripture of the Canon in new ways. I often find that many of his ideas can in fact fit into the overall narrative of the inspired Scripture.All in all, I would say to those who are still apprehensive about looking into this piece of non-canonized Second-Temple text; trust that God is more than able to give you wisdom. Hold fast to the word of the gospel and the truth of Christ. What is written in Enoch will add depth of understanding to your reading of the New Testament especially, as the apostles, and Jesus Himself, referred extensively to what is written in this book in various places; references that are nowhere else found in the canonized Old Testament.In quoting Revelation 19:10, Tim made a connection that stuck with me: "The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy". When it comes down to it, the Spirit of prophecy is found in this text. Especially in the book of the Watchers that is proven to be written before the time of Christ. That, combined with the fact that it was so heavily referred to, and even quoted verbatim, by New Testament authors, I would say that this is an important read for us today. Much of the theology of the New Testament as it pertains to the afterlife, the role of angels, demons, and eternal judgment is not found anywhere other than in 1 Enoch.And again, I haven't seen a more intentionally and carefully crafted copy than this. I'm looking forward to the rest of the work coming in the Nephilim Series! Keep up the good work guys!

Must buy
The extra wording from Tim Alberino is great. The artwork is kind of cool. But I will say that outside of those two things this is a fantastic book. Highly, highly, highly recommend reading at least the first book. The other two books are questionable but the first book of Enoch is a must-read. Disregard all the nonsense that a lot of people are saying.There are parts of the first book of Enoch that are quoted in Scripture.

The key that unlocks so much – a feast for the eyes and mind!
The three books of Enoch are such incredible extra biblical resources that help much of what is in God‘s word make sense. It helps connect dots, illuminate truths, explain deeper meanings and occurrences, and shines light in dark spaces. Reading the book of Enoch has provided me with so many “ah-ha!“ moments.Aside from that, this version in particular is the best I’ve come across. It has an excellent introduction from scholar and real life “Indiana Jones”, Timothy Alberino, and profoundly beautiful conceptual artwork from Nate Henry. Both of these help further explain not only what was happening in that day, time and culture, but also what it might look like! My only complaint is, I wish they would’ve included more artwork, because what they have in there now is so captivating and truly helps my mind to picture what I’m reading. A feast for the eyes and mind!I highly recommend this version of the complete work of Enoch, And if you’re looking for a new favorite podcast, I also highly recommend you go check out Blurry Creatures wherever you listen to podcasts. It will change you forever. Promise!Thank you, Nate, Tim and Luke! Keep the good stuff coming!
