of the Book of Enoch, alone, something that signifies its importance. The contents signify why it was suppressed by an empire looking to exert maximum control At least they called that one "apocryphal," meaning the muckey-mucks in the churcjh still got took at it even if tje faithful were deprived.

In any case, there's a big debate coming among Christians of all flavors about power and the limitation of both knowledge and faith and that debate is long overdue.
