The volume starts with an analysis of the        place of the Ascension in the development of early Christian        prophecy and continues with several chapters that discuss the problems        of the date, provenance, genre and interpretation of the        Ascension as well as its potential relationship to Marcion. The        following chapters focus on various aspects of the Ascension,        such as its mystical character, oracular nature, self-designation,        Johannist constellation, religious experience, cosmology, the descent of        Christ, eschatology and the Virgin birth. A final chapter looks at P.        Amh. I 1, the Greek witness to the Ascension of Isaiah. The        volume concludes, as has become customary, with a bibliography and index.","brand":"Peeters Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50587490320727,"sku":"9789042931992","price":67.61,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-ascension-of-isaiah-9789042931992","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
