The Apocalypse of Abraham is a vital source for understanding both
Jewish apocalypticism and mysticism. Written anonymously soon after
the destruction of the Second Jerusalem Temple, the text envisions
heaven as the true place of worship and depicts Abraham as an
initiate of celestial priesthood. Andrei A. Orlov focuses on the
central rite of the Abraham story - the scapegoat ritual that
receives a striking eschatological reinterpretation in the text. He
demonstrates that the development of the sacerdotal traditions in
the Apocalypse of Abraham, along with a cluster of Jewish mystical
motifs, represents an important transition from Jewish
apocalypticism to the symbols of early Jewish mysticism. In this
way, Orlov offers unique insight into the complex world of the
Jewish sacerdotal debates in the early centuries of the Common Era.
The book will be of interest to scholars of early Judaism and
Christianity, Old Testament studies, and Jewish mysticism and
magic.
