No. It's an account that wasn't included in the Protestant Bible because the authorship was unknown, therefore they couldn't pin down when it was written.

The e book of Enoch became got here across between the lifeless Sea Scrolls and is somewhat solid. notwithstanding, it isn't the unique e book as at the same time as it became written by technique of the Prophet Enoch, and has some scribble mistakes, yet for the most section is is amazingly sturdy reading. i ought to recommend or not that's study with care and pray for information, you wont go some distance incorrect.

the book of Enoch is an apocryphal text (IE. not part of the cannon, and in same Churches "not meant to be read") written in the the 200s BC. it is written by scribes to answer the question of what happened to Enoch when in genesis is says "Enoch walked with god." kind of the same way that the infancy Gospel of Jesus was written. people of the time just wanted to know what happened.
but i can not tell you if its reliable that is a answer you must come to your self. but if you ask Church officials the answer is no.
but don't just go by what the Church tells you the believe, don't become a sheep.

where is it? who has it? only another prophet can judge if it's reliable. Today's modern prophet is Gordon B.Hinckley.Enoch was a righteous prophet though. Enoch must have written it :-) after all He spoke with God and received revelation in His days and even established the city of Enoch, real Zion and led the people who were one in heart and mind.

When the bible was organized into one volume, there was a clear understanding of what was historical truth and what was a fraud. It was also understood that the Kingdom of God which was so succinctly orated by Jesus was clearly reflected in the books included today, those left out contrasted sharply with Christs doctrine.

Reliability and true source is unknown, but it does have some interesting stuff about angels and early man in it.
While it's certainly not inspired, there's not much in it that could be harmful to an adult's faith.
Read it for historical background, keeping in mind it's dubious heritage.

have never heard of it. I am Christian. The man Enoch was a believer in God who devoted his life to Him. He did not die but rose up to Heaven.

I'm a Buddhist, so I have no opinion on this. However, I suspect that you'll get very few, if any, takers because its validity wasn't decided at some ecumenical council. It kind of make one wonder how they decide which books are canon and which aren't.
