Paperback. Condition: New. Demonstrates how conflict between a human adept as the divine warrior and an otherworldly antagonist plays a key role in early Jewish and Christian apocalyptic accounts.Antagonistic imagery has a striking presence in apocalyptic writings of Second Temple Judaism and early Christianity. In these visionary accounts, the role of the divine warrior fighting against demonic forces is often taken by a human adept, who becomes exalted and glorified as a result of his encounter with otherworldly antagonists, serving as a prerequisite for his final apotheosis. Demons of Change examines the meaning of these interactions for the transformations of the hero and antihero of early Jewish and Christian apocalyptic accounts. Andrei A. Orlov traces the roots of this trope to ancient Near Eastern traditions, paying special attention to the significance of conflict in the adept's ascent and apotheosis and to the formative value of these developments for Jewish and Christian martyrological accounts. This antagonistic tension plays a critical role both for the exaltation of the protagonist and for the demotion of his opponent. Orlov treats the motif of the hero's apotheosis in the midst of conflict in its full historical and interpretive complexity using a broad variety of Jewish sources, from the creational narratives of the Hebrew Bible to later Jewish mystical testimonies.…

Paperback. Condition: New. A wide-ranging analysis of heavenly twin imagery in early Jewish extrabiblical texts.The idea of a heavenly double-an angelic twin of an earthbound human-can be found in Christian, Manichaean, Islamic, and Kabbalistic traditions. Scholars have long traced the lineage of these ideas to Greco-Roman and Iranian sources. In The Greatest Mirror, Andrei A. Orlov shows that heavenly twin imagery drew in large part from early Jewish writings. The Jewish pseudepigrapha-books from the Second Temple period that were attributed to biblical figures but excluded from the Hebrew Bible-contain accounts of heavenly twins in the form of spirits, images, faces, children, mirrors, and angels of the Presence. Orlov provides a comprehensive analysis of these traditions in their full historical and interpretive complexity. He focuses on heavenly alter egos of Enoch, Moses, Jacob, Joseph, and Aseneth in often neglected books, including Animal Apocalypse, Book of the Watchers, 2 Enoch, Ladder of Jacob, and Joseph and Aseneth, some of which are preserved solely in the Slavonic language.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Andrei Orlov examines early Christological developments in the light of rabbinic references to the "two powers" in heaven, tracing the impact of this concept through both canonical and non-canonical material. Orlov begins by looking at imagery of the "two powers" in early Jewish literature, in particular the book of Daniel, and in pseudepigraphical writings. He then traces the concept through rabbinic literature and applies this directly to understanding of Christological debates. Orlov finally carries out a close examination of the "two powers" traditions in Christian literature, in particular accounts of the Transfiguration and the Baptism of Jesus. Including a comprehensive bibliography listing texts and translations, and secondary literature, this volume is a key resource in researching the development of Christology.…

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Muchas de las experiencias visionarias en torno al cambio de era suponen una cosmología de tres, siete o más cielos donde el místico asciende, acompañado de un ser celestial, hasta contemplar, en lo más alto, la gloria luminosa de Dios rodeado de sus ángeles y en donde le son revelados los misterios del cosmos y la historia humana. En una dinámica espiritual percibida como aconteciendo fuera del cuerpo comienza a entenderse como sucediendo en lo más íntimo del hombre, su corazón. ¿Cómo explicar la internalización de la experiencia mística? La explicación más generalizada se centra en la influencia neoplatónica. La presente obra explora otras aristas para entender este fascinante aspecto de las experiencias religiosas: una temprana cristología de la gloria y sus implicaciones antropológicas; una reflexión más intimista sobre el templo; el énfasis ético del dualismo apocalíptico, entre otros. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
