Thanks for this. Enoch seems to be a hot topic lately. I knew of its existence but left it alone, just like I have never gotten around to reading Epimenides or Aratus. I got a belly full of ancient literature in college and there is enough in the canon to fully occupy my energy and attention. For example, just recently I have been working on settling in my own mind the chronology of when the books of the New Testament were written, which includes the question of who Jude was and which of the Jameses wrote the Epistle of James. Maybe one day I'll get to Enoch though.
You are right, this has definitely been a hot topic lately. I think it has come to the forefront because scholarship is becoming more and more accessible to laymen.
At some point I will need to dig into the questions you raised as well. They are both really good ones, and honestly, I have not given them much thought yet.
No need to rush though, Enoch will still be here whenever you feel led to look deeper!
