Jude Quoted It. Jesus Thought in It. The Machine Buried It.

Book Overview
Jude quoted the Book of Enoch by name.
Jesus taught in the same categories it uses — especially the Son of Man.
The early Jesus movement treated this material as known and usable.
Later institutional gatekeepers decided to push it outside the fence.
This book walks the full Ethiopian (Geʽez) version of 1 Enoch section by section: the Book of the Watchers, the Book of Parables, the Astronomical Book, the Dream Visions, and the Epistle of Enoch. Key passages are quoted. The rest is paraphrased so you can actually follow the text without getting lost.
Then it makes the case that the later decision to sideline Enoch does not get the final vote. The New Testament connections are still there. The historical sidelining is real. And the material still cuts.
No conspiracy theories. No academic fog. Just the text, the connections, and a clear argument for why this book still matters.
Alex Parkview writes with the same direct, no-nonsense voice readers already know from his other works on faith, moral injury, and institutional failure.

BIOGRAPHY Alex Parkview is a combat veteran of the U.S. Army, single dad to two grown daughters, proud polyjamorous genre-smasher, and survivor who finds truth in heavy riffs, buried scriptures, trail dust, and the small anchors that keep showing up each day.
His writing—blunt memoirs and sermon-style reflections—lays bare moral injury, PTSD recovery, chronic pain, fatherhood, and scandalously simple grace. The "From the Ruins" series (Cathedral of Scars, Doors Wide in the Ruins, Letters from the Ruins, Altars in the Ruins) builds altars from wreckage, while standalone works like Hearing the Echoes, Broken Mirrors, Steady Ground, and This Too Shall Pass? offer honest words for invisible wounds that don't heal linearly.
From the battlefield to the mosh pit to playlists that span Johnny Cash to Lorna Shore, Alex writes for warriors (and anyone) carrying scars—those who know faith is messy, recovery is stubborn persistence, and real connection refuses neat boxes.
On a quiet mission to get these books into military chaplains' hands and anyone ready to face their ruins without pretense.
Turn it up, switch the genre, dig deep—grace shows up anyway. Let's walk this out together.
