As in the Christian New Testament, the Hebrew Bible also underwent a canon of sorts. The books (there was more than one)of Enoch, were considered to be just a little too eccentric for the common man. You see, as opposed to the documented history of the Christian church trying to keep Theology away from the masses, the Old Testament Jews were very committed to the ongoing educational promulgation of the their species, and thus made decisions that would benefit the common reader.
It is worthy to note that there were many other books that never made it besides Enoch. Solomon wrote many more books than the 3 that are included. The classic apocrypha for that matter is sufficient note.
There is no proof that Enoch actually wrote all of the parts of the books of Enoch they are separated and may be from vairous authors. There are some flaws that don't correspond to the Bible very well.Wiki User
