Episode 21

Ladder of Jacob (Pseudepigrapha)

Published on: 11th March, 2024

Hey, guys. Had some things come up to where the planned episode on Genesis 32 wasn't able to be recorded in time, so I called an audible and decided to cover something for fun. The Ladder of Jacob is a pseudepigraphic work (falsely attributed scripture) from the 100s-200s AD. It is not scripture, but still has some insights we can glean from it.

Who wrote the Ladder of Jacob? Why is it non-canonical? Is there anything we can learn from it? Is it Gnostic? How does it combine Genesis 28 and 32? How does it show a false take on angels? Who is Sariel? What does as above, so below mean?
