I wasn't really alleging anything--I was simply referring to this specific post, which doesn't mention Jude 6. I've been following your blog for about a decade (as a friend, by the way), so I know you've addressed the issue in general in the past, but I wasn't aware of any exegesis you've done on Jude 6 (most of what I've read concerns Gen 6). I confess, I may have missed it. But what I HAVE read is your responses to certain antagonists to the reformed faith who also happen to argue for an angelic reading of Gen 6, and my concern is that you're ipso facto associating that reading with a low view of Scripture. I assure you, nothing could be further from reality. As Doug Moo points out in his commentary on Jude (who, by the way, agrees with me that Jude adopts the 1 Enoch interpretation of Gen 6, Walton notwithstanding), this is the majority view among contemporary NT scholars. I'm happy to lay out the exegetical reasons for this interpretation (if you like), but I don't want to waste your time if you deem it unworthy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-14079444799102757842014-03-30T22:11:13.911-04:002014-03-30T22:11:13.911-04:00Since I've often discussed that issue, your al...Since I've often discussed that issue, your allegation is presumptuous and ignorant. BTW, John Walton, in his commentary on Genesis (p297), casts doubt on Jude's alleged allusions. stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547070544928321788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-41218490137718116562014-03-30T15:38:13.406-04:002014-03-30T15:38:13.406-04:00Hi Steve -- IMO, any treatment of this has to take...Hi Steve -- IMO, any treatment of this has to take into account Jude 6 vis-a-vis Jude's undoubted reliance on 1 Enoch. While this is by no means a central issue (it's more of an exegetical curiosity for me), and while the film portrays these angels in a patently absurd way, I don't think you've considered all the relevant texts that would connect Gen 6 with 1 Enoch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
