Prof. Bock, I have a question about the Enoch quote in Jude. Like all evangelicals, I believe that Jude is divinely inspired. I don't believe the Enoch traditions are, however - and I have yet to meet any evangelical who does. When Jude quotes Enoch in much the same way that other New Testament writers quote Old Testament scriptures (which WERE divinely inspired), how did he know that the Enoch tradition was authoritative, when Enoch as a whole wasn't?
