Decoding the Book of Enoch (w/ Dr. David DeSilva)
About this episode
Dr. David DeSilva discusses the Book of Enoch and its significance for Christians today.
The book of Enoch is famously mysterious...and was read by some early Christians--even referenced in a New Testament book. So, what are Christians to make of it today? In this episode, renowned Apochrypha & NT scholar Dr. David DeSilva stops in to talk about Enoch, as well as some of the other Pseudepigraphical books!
