# Notes

## Why this source matters

This is a framework source, not merely another transcript.

It is especially useful for:
- early church reception of 1 Enoch
- the distinction between canon and usefulness
- how Peter and Jude relate to Enoch
- why non-canonical works can still be interpretively important
- how early Christian writers handled Enoch differently

## Strong themes

- early Christians knew 1 Enoch well
- some treated it as Scripture
- many did not
- this disagreement did not make either side "not Christian"
- quoting a source does not automatically make it canonical
- usefulness and canonicity are not the same category

## Portfolio role

This source should feed:
- frameworks/authority_canon_and_use/
- frameworks/second_temple_context/
- future articles on Enoch in the early church
