Talk:Book of Enoch

Church Fathers Canon
The page states that Justin Martyr, Ireneaus, Origen, and Clement of Alexandria considered it inspired. However Justin Martyr nor Ireneaus quote directly from it. (I don't remember if Clement did so please give me the reference) also Origen condemns Celsus use of the Book as though it was inspired. "Nor to be aware that the books that bear the name Enoch do not at all circulate in the Churches as divine" Origen Against Celsus, Ante-Nicene Fathers, Book 4, Chapter 54

It also was excluded from his canon.

Also can we put Jude may have qouted Enoch (as not all agree he did I certainly don't but rather say he got it from tradition). Thanks bye.Rhm 18:46, January 21, 2011 (UTC)
