db84 Enoch becomes the Son of Man and so on

Notwithstanding (all kinds of) later theological niceties, the Gospels also comprise a story of a G d who becomes man (theophany) and another of a man who becomes G d (apotheosis).

That is, we can still observe within the Gospel (especially in Mark, which has no miraculous birth story, and also even in Paul) the remnants of a version of Christology in which Jesus was born a man but became g d at his baptism.

This idea, later named the heresy of adoptionism (G d adopting Jesus as his Son), was not quite stamped out until the Middle Ages.

Seeing the doubleness of the narrative of the Son of Man I the Enoch book thus helps us understand the doubleness of the story of Jesus in the Gospels as well.

It helps us make sense of the multiple acts of the Christ story: his birth as G d, his becoming G d at his baptism, his death and resurrection as a living human once again, teaching on earth, and then his exaltation to the right hand of G d for eternity.

It is almost as if two stories have been brought together into one plot: one story of a G d who became man, came down to earth, and returned home, and a second story of a man who became G d and then ascended on high.
