Reply to comment by [deleted] in Deciphering ancient texts with modern tools, Michael Langlois challenges what we know about the Dead Sea Scrolls and biblical archaeology by MeatballDom
Here, the Bible is not used as a source for "real life events" but as a subject of study by itself.
The fact that the Bible's text evolved due to cherrypicking and modification is precisely why the "concept of forgery" is important.
History is kind of pointless when you look at something that is unchanged through time. What matters is which change happened when.
The goal is to retrace the history of what the biblical texts used to look like. And undetected forgeries undermine this work.

Is there an online source for his thoughts on Enoch? Any on his general thoughts of the Ethiopic versions in comparison?

Who knows, you might take it up more seriously in some way some day. These diversions may end up being the foundation for that.

Reply to comment by RSwordsman in When did government departments and government budgets become invented? by megamindwriter
Late Roman empire represents a switch from the very decentralized (and very, very light) bureaucracy to a much more hands on approach that was highly influential.
Problem is, its very expensive, but it was better than going through the third century crisis again.
