H Αποκάλυψη των Ζώων και η Καινή Διαθήκη / The Animal Apocalypse and the NT

Η λεγόμενη "Αποκάλυψη των Ζώων" (A΄ Ενώχ 85-90), η οποία είναι ένα αποκαλυπτικό κείμενο σχετικά με το μέλλον του Ισραήλ, φαίνεται να έχει επηρεάσει την αποκαλυπτική γλώσσα της ΚΔ (μαζί με το βιβλίο του Δανιήλ). Ο  Phillip J. Long συζητά αυτές τις επιδράσεις σε ένα σύντομο κείμενο στο ιστολόγιο About Reading Acts. 

The Dream Visions (1 Enoch 85-90) and the New Testament
