One example is his stress on the importance of context - which he defines as 2nd Temple extra biblical writings - as essential for understanding Scripture, especially 1 Enoch. I am very leery of that approach to hermeneutics.
It can be taken the wrong way. On the other hand, every single hermeneutics book ever written says you have to know the original sitz im lebel. 2 Temple Judaism has a bad rap because of the mischief from the New Perspective.
As to Enoch, here's my take. At the very least, Jude, and probably Peter, thought they were quoting the ancient Enoch. It just so happens that their quotes match up with the intertestamental text. My understanding is that there was indeed an ancient Enochian tradition that was later codified.
Who would you guys recommend that has put together a biblical theology of "sons of god" or the supernatural battle in the unseen realm from more of a Reformed Perspective?
