non-canonical by a few churches. In my head canon it's the only one that is true.

I don't know of any church that considers it canonical. I think it certainly reflects what folks thought about the enigmatic Genesis 6:1-4 text before and around the time of Christ.

The Ethiopian and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Churches consider it canonical, which is why we still have complete copies of it, albeit in Ge'ez.

Interesting. I wonder if the translation is much different in content than the English versions. It's a wild read.

The Tewahedo church in Ethiopia considers it cannon. There is no english translation of their bibles currently but wiki says a translation project is underway.

Can I ask - are you a biblical scholar? Reading a different bible each year us impressive

Just a layman. I only read English translations (I don't know Greek or Hebrew) Just finished the Orthodox Study Bible Old Testament which is based on the Greek Septuagint. I read Brenton's translation about 10 years ago. Anyway, I having picked out a Bible for this next year.
