Andrei A. Orlov, Ph.D. (1990) in Sociology, Russian Academy of Sciences, and Ph.D. (2003) in Theology, Marquette University, is an Associate Professor of Christian Origins at Marquette University (Milwaukee, USA). He has published extensively on the Old Testament pseudepigrapha including The Enoch-Metatron Tradition (TSAJ, 107; Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck, 2005) and From Apocalypticism to Merkabah Mysticism (JSJS, 114; Leiden: Brill, 2007).
This volume is a study of two of the most important Slavonic apocalypses, the Apocalypse of Abraham and 2 Enoch, as the crucial conceptual links between the symbolic universes of Second Temple apocalypticism and early Jewish mysticism.
