The Glory Of The Invisible God by Andrei A. Orlov

Two Powers in Heaven Traditions and Early Christian Trinitarian Theology

A study of how ancient Jewish “two powers in heaven” traditions and the notion of the divine Glory (Kavod) informed early high Christology, proposing that a visible, exalted mediator made the invisible deity knowable in visionary and worship contexts. Drawing on apocalyptic, Enochic, and rabbinic materials and figures such as Metatron, Yahoel, Adam, and the Logos, it traces debates about divine embodiment, heavenly enthronement, and veneration that shaped the earliest Christian claims about the status of Christ.
