Ascent to Heaven in Jewish and Christian Apocalypses
Himmelfarb, Martha (Associate Professor of Religion, Associate Professor of Religion, Princeton University)
This is a comparative study of the ancient Jewish and Christian views of the ascent into heaven. It places the ascent narratives in their cultural and historical context, and explores their relationship to the canonical apocalypses and to other Graeco-Roman literature of ascent and divinization.
