The hesitation to grant any authority to Enoch becomes difficult to justify if inspired writers use Enochic traditions to illuminate major theological realities.

The issue is not whether Enoch fits neatly inside later canon boundaries, but whether later categories have become too narrow to account for the way biblical authors themselves appear to use preserved Enochic material.
