RB's claim that

"EARLY CHRISTIANS SAID ABOUT JESUS
WHAT NO OTHER JEWS HAD WISHED TO SAY ABOUT THE MESSIAH
OR ANY OTHER FIGURE;
that he had been exalted by God to participate now in the cosmic sovereignty unique to the divine identity",
since RB himself had just demonstrated the significance of Enoch in this regard!?
To answer, as he does implicitly, [...], that
"THE PARABLES REPRESENT A PARALLEL RATHER THAN A SOURCE"
does not in any way impugn the authority of the Similitudes to render his claim false;
in fact, [...], it enhances it, since now we have at least two independent witnesses to this religious concept,
neither dependent on the other?!
Further,
it should be emphasized that accepting RB's premise, which seems compelling,
that there are not a series of semi-devine mediator figures within Second Temple Judaism to which Jesus could have been assimilated
forces us to recognize that Dani'el 7:13-14 already assumes that the Son of Man shares G d's divinity,
thus once again giving the lie to RB's claim to some absolute uniqueness to Christology in the Jesus version.
THE SIMILITUDES & THE GOSPELS REPRESENT TWO DEVELOPMENTS OUT OF THE DANIELIC TRADITION!
Of course, this does not preclude further religious creativity on the part of each of these traditions,
as we see from the Gospels' apparent powerful ad-dition of Psalm 110:1 to the mix {if RB is right}
& the continuation of the Enoch tradition in 3 Enoch
{if he is, as I suppose, wrong}!
