“The Books of Enoch Revealed is an epic work of history that highlights Churton’s virtuosity in meticulously analyzing the theology of the texts and the historicity of their journey from biblical antiquity to our era. The Enochic texts present a maze of complexity, both historically and theologically. Tobias Churton is one of the few living scholars capable of disassembling and reassembling all the moving parts without losing any along the way.”
