是咁的, 早幾日收到以前supervisor的email, 除咗好耐冇見, 大家問候下對方之外, 佢亦提及話見到有本新書, 同我以前寫咗少少的博士論文概念好相似, 叫我搵嚟睇下: Philip F. Esler, God's Court and Courtiers in the Book of the Watchers: Re-Interpreting Heaven in 1 Enoch 1-36.
我梗係冇咁勤力, 去搵本書嚟睇. 不過頭先睇下佢官網個簡介, 簡直係同我以前諗住寫的論文餅印一樣:
First Enoch is an ancient Judean work that inaugurated the genre of apocalypse. Chapters 1–36 tell the story of the descent of angels called “Watchers” from heaven to earth to marry human women before the time of the flood, the chaos that ensued, and God’s response. They also relate the journeying of the righteous scribe Enoch through the cosmos, guided by angels. Heaven, including the place and those who dwell there (God, the angels, and Enoch), plays a central role in the narrative. But how should heaven be understood? Existing scholarship, which presupposes “Judaism” as the appropriate framework, views the Enochic heaven as reflecting the temple in Jerusalem, with God’s house replicating its architecture and the angels and Enoch functioning like priests. Yet recent research shows the Judeans constituted an ethnic group, and this view encourages a fresh examination of 1 Enoch 1–36. The actual model for heaven proves to be a king in his court surrounded by his courtiers. The major textual features are explicable in this perspective, whereas the temple-and-priests model is unconvincing. The author was a member of a nontemple, scribal group in Judea that possessed distinctive astronomical knowledge, promoted Enoch as its exemplar, and was involved in the wider sociopolitical world of their time.以前人地問我論文寫乜嘢, 我通常都懶得解釋. 第日我可以直接俾呢條link佢 sosad. 同埋都證實, 以前我個proposal都唔係太雞, 跟蹤落去其實都有可能寫到本書出嚟.
