The Book of Enoch

Season 1, Episode 2

Episode 2, presented in collaboration with the Philosophical Research Society (PRS), explores the Book of Enoch, an ancient text composed during the Hellenistic period that contains tales of barbarous giants, visions of redemption, and much more.

Dr. Greg Salyer, President of PRS, takes us on a journey through the book’s structure, helping us investigate the spiritual and emotional value of apocalyptic literature as well as the recycling of mythological narratives.
