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.
