Abstract
Abstract:There is a widespread assumption that conflict between different prophetic schools in early Christianity prompted the writing of the Ascension of Isaiah. Challenging this position, I argue that the term "the prophets" is a cipher for pious Christians and that the work warns of the dangers of conflict within the church in the face of potentially hostile attention from the Roman administration.
