On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon are joined by author Mark Lines to delve into the mysterious Book of Enoch and its influences on the emerging theology of Joseph Smith.

Mark's book, "Joseph Smith and the Book of Enoch:The Influence on Mormon Theology" explores Enoch as one of the sources of Joseph Smith's literary works.

Joseph's "translation projects" the Book of Mormon, Book of Moses, the Inspired Bible and Book of Moses include prophecies, visions and allusions to the ancient biblical prophet Enoch.

Did this renewed interest in Enoch in the religious and scholarly world during that time period directly influenced Joseph Smith's writings? Or do the similarities between Joseph's writings and the Book of Enoch point to a more divine origin?
