Eeverting to the second century of Christianity,
we find Irenseus and Clement of Alexandria citing
the Book of Enoch without questioning its sacred
character. Thus, Irenseus, assigning to the Book of
Enoch an authenticity analogous to that of Mosaic
literature, affirms that Enoch, although a man,
filled the office of God’s messenger to the angels.’
Tertullian, who flourished at the close of the first
and at the beginning of the second century, whilst
admitting that the ” Scripture of Enoch ” is not
received by some because it is not included in the
Hebrew Canon, speaks of the author as ” the most
ancient prophet, Enoch,” and of the book as the
divinely inspired autograph of that immortal patri-
arch, preserved by Noah in the ark, or miraculously
reproduced by him through the inspiration of the
Holy Spirit. Tertullian adds, ” But as Enoch has
spoken in the same scripture of the Lord, and
‘ every scripture suitable for edification is divinely
inspired,’ let us reject nothing which belongs to us.
It may now seem to have been disavowed by the
Jews like all other scripture which speaks of Christ”
a fact which should cause us no surprise, as they
were not to receive him, even when personally
addressed by himself.” These views Tertullian con-
firms by appealing to the testimony of the Apostle
Jude. The Book of Enoch was therefore as sacred
as the Psalms or Isaiah in the eyes of the famous
theologian, on whom modern orthodoxy relies as
the chief canonist of New Testament scripture.

I have recently been looking over the Dead Sea Scrolls and some of the books that we're left out of the Bible like the Book of Enoch and the Book of Thomas. It is interesting to me who made the decisions to delete certain elements of the Bible and to make decisions on what the Bible meant to various groups of people all having a different take on it.
