#12225 Why Isn’t the Book of Enoch in the Bible If the Disciples Referenced It? - Joe Heschmeyer

In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, we tackle one of the most intriguing questions about the Bible’s development: If the disciples and early Christians referenced the Book of Enoch, why isn’t it part of the biblical canon? We explore the Church’s criteria for canonization, Enoch’s influence, and why it ultimately didn’t make the cut.
