50: Deuterocanon Pt. 6 - Why The BOOK OF ENOCH is *Not* Scripture
The Apostle Jude in the New Testament cites the Book of Enoch and the Assumption of Moses as "prophecy" and sacred history respectively. The author of Hebrews references the Ascension of Isaiah in chapter eleven's "hall of heroes." So... why aren't these 3 apocryphal works in the canon of Protestants or Catholics? How do we exclude them without being inconsistent? What was the way the early Christians settled this thorny question? What does it tell us about the true way to identify the canon of Scripture for Christians?
Hooray! We've reached the END of our Deuterocanon Series. As part of our 2nd Bonus Episode we've decided to dive into why the 3 Apocryphal Books of The Book of Enoch, Assumption of Moses, and the Ascension of Isaiah are NOT in the canon even though they are cited in the New Testament by the inspired authors of Scripture. The answer puts a nice bow on the series as a whole as we wrap up this "Summer Topic Special" on the Podcast.
