Apocalypse of Abraham
The Apocalypse of Abraham is a pseudepigraphic work (a text whose claimed authorship is uncertain) based on much earlier Abraham narratives from the Hebrew Bible (or Christian Old Testament). Probably composed between about 70–150 CE from earlier writings and tradition, it is of Jewish origin and is part of the Apocalyptic literature popular first in early Judaism and later in early Christianity. It has survived only in Old Slavonic recensions and it is not regarded as authoritative scripture by Jews or any Christians, although it used to be considered so by the (now-extinct) Bogomil sect.
