The Pteromorphic Angelology of the Apocalypse of Abraham

The article examines the anti-anthropomorphic features of the angelological developments in the "Apocalypse of Abraham." It notes the strangeness of the gospel's potential to demonstrate the primary angel in the form of a bird as the anthropomorphic glory of God. It is mentioned that the anthropomorphic divine Glory came to be applied to the composite creature that integrates anthropomorphic and pteromorphic features that depict the polemical character of the text's angelology.
