- The Animal Apocalypse1 Enoch's Animal Apocalypse retells the whole biblical story as a dream about a farm, with Adam as a white bull, Israel as a flock of sheep, and the nations as beasts and birds.
- The Apocalypse of Weeks1 Enoch's Apocalypse of Weeks compresses all of history, from Adam to a new heaven, into ten periods called weeks.
- The Son of Man in 1 Enoch1 Enoch's Parables describe a pre-existent, enthroned Son of Man worshiped by kings, a portrait already circulating in Jewish thought around the time of Jesus.
- The Watchers' Secrets1 Enoch names the fallen Watchers as teachers of weapons, sorcery, astrology, and cosmetics, and calls what they taught worthless mysteries, stolen rather than given.

- Enoch, the Man Who Walked with GodGenesis 5 repeats 'and he died' eight times, but Enoch's line breaks the pattern: God took him without a death.
- The Giants of 1 Enoch1 Enoch expands Genesis 6:4's one verse into a full account: the Watchers' giant offspring devoured mankind, destroyed each other, and left spirits behind that the Gospels' demons echo.
The ground a story stands on: what was built there, what was found there, and what Scripture makes of the name afterwards.

The text itself3
The roster is the site’s own build manifest, so no study can be missing from it. A study leads its kind when it carries a line of its own and more of the other studies link to it; a register row with no line of its own borrows the first sentence of the study’s own summary. The pictures are public domain: engravings by Gustave Doré from Doré’s English Bible(1866), and paintings held at Wikimedia Commons. Each is named in full on the study’s own page.
