# Authority, Canon, and Use
## Purpose
This framework studies the distinction between:
- canon
- inspiration
- authority
- usefulness
- dependence
- quotation
- conceptual inheritance
It exists to prevent the research portfolio from collapsing all source relationships into a single category.
## Why it matters
A text does not need to be canonical to be:
- important
- authoritative in some limited sense
- conceptually formative
- interpretively necessary
- used by biblical writers
## Current supporting sources
- Heiser, "The Book of Enoch in the Early Church"

# 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.
## Use in portfolio
This framework should support:
- Enoch authority articles
- canon discussions
- NT dependence discussions
- anti-flattening methodology

# Sources
## Core sources
- Michael Heiser, "The Book of Enoch in the Early Church"
- James C. VanderKam on Enoch in early Christianity
- Nickelsburg on knowledge of Enoch and the Watchers story
- Primary texts: Jude, 2 Peter, Barnabas, Tertullian, Origen, Irenaeus
## Core questions
- Must quotation imply canonicity?
- Can a non-canonical text still be interpretively indispensable?
- How did early Christians distinguish usefulness from Scripture?
- How should Peter and Jude's use of Enoch be classified?
