Senior Lecturer in Biblical Studies
Focuses on the concept of a hierarchical God who reveals the secrets of the cosmos through a multi-tiered heaven. Examines the source of early Jewish mystical and cosmological speculation and its influence on later apocalyptic literature.
This refers to God revealing cosmic secrets through layered celestial structures and angelic intermediaries in Pseudepigraphal texts.
Early Jewish mystical speculation directly influenced both Jewish Merkabah mysticism and early Christian apocalyptic literature.
Primary texts include 2 Enoch, the Apocalypse of Abraham, and other Pseudepigraphal works featuring celestial journeys.
