The Apocalypse of Abraham in James’s Apocryphal New Testament tradition

Record summary

The Apocalypse of Abraham, circulated in scholarly English through early twentieth-century apocrypha studies, features angelic guidance, heavenly ascent and adversarial spiritual figures. It is relevant as a textual comparator for accounts in which a human receives knowledge through an intermediary being, though its setting is ancient visionary literature rather than Arctic or maritime exploration. Verification requires identifying the particular translation and edition, since wording and section numbering vary. The text’s Slavic manuscript transmission and uncertain date should be kept separate from modern occult interpretations.
