- waynecochran 4y agoI don't know of any church that considers it canonical. I think it certainly reflects what folks thought about the enigmatic Genesis 6:1-4 text before and around the time of Christ.
- wl 4y agoThe Ethiopian and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Churches consider it canonical, which is why we still have complete copies of it, albeit in Ge'ez.
- waynecochran 4y agoInteresting. I wonder if the translation is much different in content than the English versions. It's a wild read.
- DontchaKnowit 4y agoThe Tewahedo church in Ethiopia considers it cannon. There is no english translation of their bibles currently but wiki says a translation project is underway. Can I ask - are you a biblical scholar? Reading a different bible each year us impressive
- waynecochran 4y agoJust a layman. I only read English translations (I don't know Greek or Hebrew) Just finished the Orthodox Study Bible Old Testament which is based on the Greek Septuagint. I read Brenton's translation about 10 years ago. Anyway, I having picked out a Bible for this next year.
