"Divine Scapegoats" is a wide-ranging exploration of the parallels between the heavenly and the demonic in early Jewish apocalyptical accounts. In these materials, antagonists often mirror features of angelic figures, and even those of the Deity himself, an inverse correspondence that implies a belief that the demonic realm is maintained by imitating divine reality. Andrei A. Orlov examines the sacerdotal, messianic, and creational aspects of this mimetic imagery, focusing primarily on two texts from the Slavonic pseudepigrapha: "2 Enoch" and the "Apocalypse of Abraham." These two works are part of a very special cluster of Jewish apocalyptic texts that exhibit features not only of the apocalyptic worldview but also of the symbolic universe of early Jewish mysticism. The Yom Kippur ritual in the "Apocalypse of Abraham," the divine light and darkness of "2 Enoch," and the similarity of mimetic motifs to later developments in the "Zohar" are of particular importance in Orlov s consideration."

Divine Scapegoats: Demonic Mimesis in Early Jewish Mysticism, by Andrei A Orlov

Review An impressively productive scholar, Orlov is widely regarded as one of the foremost experts in the so-called Slavonic pseudepigrapha, a group of Jewish apocalyptic texts from the Second Temple Period whose origins and transmission history is especially obscure. "Divine Scapegoats" demonstrates once more Orlov s mastery of these texts. "H-Net Reviews (H-Judaic)""
