Demystify the Book of Enoch withThe Book of Enoch for BeginnersPHILIP J. LONG, PhD,is a professor of biblical studies at Grace Christian University. He earned masters degrees in Biblical Exposition and Old Testament from Biola University and a PhD in New Testament from Andrews University. Dr. Long is also the author ofGalatians: Freedom Through God’s Grace. I'm not sure who said it or wrote it or mentioned it in passing at a conference, but at one point someone said in my presence that 'You cannot understand the New Testament if you don't have a firm grasp of the Hebrew Bible andThe Book of Enoch.' They were right. And that's why this little book by Phillip Long is so incredibly relevant and significant. He leads his readers to a clear understanding of this material so central to so much of Christian thinking. —Jim West, ThD, lecturer in biblical studies and church hils-
