Summary/Abstract: Briefly mentioned in the text of the Bible, Enoch remains one of the most mysterious biblical characters. In the corpus of Jewish mythology, Enoch ascended to heaven and became an angel (Metatron). The “Book of Enoch” represents one of the main apocryphal works of Jewish and Christian thought. Canonized only by the Ethiopian Oriental Orthodox Church, the “Book of Enoch” carries the author’s vision of heaven and the hierarchy of angels. The relevance of the biblical character of Enoch exists in the contemporary theology of Judaism, Islam and Christianity.
