The Glory of the Invisible God: Two Powers in Heaven Traditions and Early Christology
Andrei A. Orlov
Andrei Orlov examines early Christological developments in the light of references to the “two powers” in heaven, and specifically to the glory of God, tracing the impact of a key idea/phrase through both canonical and non-canonical material.
Orlov begins by looking at references to the “two powers” in early Jewish literature, in particular the book of Daniel, and in pseudepigraphical writings. He then traces the term through Rabbinic literature and applies this directly to understanding of Christological debates. Orlov finally carries out a close examination of language of the “two powers” 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.
