Is the Book of Enoch authentic?
Upvote:2
The Old Testament canon for Christians was formally set for all five ancient Church Sees (Rome, Constantinople, Antioch, Alexandria, Jerusalem) at the 7th Ecumenical Council in 787. This Council ratified the Old Testament canons of the local councils of Carthage in 397 and Trullo in 692. The council of Trullo had ratified the canon specified Canon LXXXV of the Apostolic Canons.
In neither these local councils nor in the 7th Ecumenical Council was the Book of Enoch specified as one of the canonical Old Testament books. The canon that the 7th Ecumenical Council ratified was the combined lists of the two aforementioned local councils:
- Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy
- Joshua, Judges, Ruth
- Four "Books of Kings", namely 1/2 Samuel and 1/2 Kings
- Two "books of Paraleipomena", i.e. 1/2 Chronicles
- Job
- Psalms
- Five "books of Solomon": Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Wisdom of Solomon, and Wisdom of Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)
- The books of the 12 Prophets: Hosea, Amos, Micah, Joel, Obadiah, Jonah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi
- Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel
- Tobit
- Judith
- Esther
- Two "books of Esdras": Ezra and Nehemiah
- Three books of Maccabees
