Many controversies of the first century seem to be answered by Enoch alone, suggesting that is was written just for that purpose.

The canon is a man-made thing. I don't find Jude useful except in the same manner of the Gospel of Thomas. They are old books, written by Christians of the time. But the authors were not eyewitnesses to the resurrected Christ. | |||
