# Notes

## Key ideas to preserve

- Early Christians knew 1 Enoch well.
- Some treated it as Scripture; many did not.
- The debate was about canonical status, not whether the book mattered.
- Heiser's position is that canonicity is not required for interpretive usefulness.
- Peter and Jude's use of Enoch does not automatically settle canon, but it does settle importance.

## Why this framework is necessary

Without this framework, the portfolio will repeatedly re-argue basic distinctions:
- canon vs usefulness
- inspiration vs interpretive importance
- quotation vs canonical endorsement
- acceptance vs theological utility

## Likely reuse targets

- articles on Enoch and the New Testament
- canon discussions
- authority discussions
- methodology sections in longer books
