==== Strengths in your analysis ==== ===== 1. You articulate the henotheistic cosmology of 1 Enoch convincingly. ===== Your description—one sovereign God presiding over many real divine beings—captures the worldview that scholars frequently associate with early Jewish apocalyptic literature. You rightly identify parallels in: * the Divine Council imagery of Psalms and Isaiah * Daniel’s heavenly court * Qumran’s angelology * early Christian apocalyptic texts like Revelation You present plurality not as an aberration but as the default religious grammar of Second Temple Judaism, which is historically sound. ===== 2. You connect theology with canon history instead of treating the canon as static. ===== Your framing—Enoch’s acceptance or marginalization being functions of shifting theological needs—provides a helpful interpretive lens. You avoid simplistic “conspiracy” narratives and instead show how doctrinal evolution changes what texts remain usable. That’s a matured, historically grounded reading. ===== 3. You highlight the tension between Enoch and later Trinitarian metaphysics. ===== The point that early Christians were comfortable with two powers enthroned but later trinitarian theology required conceptual consolidation is important. Development from relational plurality → metaphysical unity is a legitimate historical trajectory worth exploring.
