Humans transformed into Angels in Jewish Apocalyptic texts
Can anyone recommend any respected academic discussions of the themes of angelic/divine exaltation of certain holy individuals (such as Enoch, Adam and Moses) present within Jewish apocalyptic literature of the Second Temple Era? I would very much like to learn how these texts understood the transformation of a mortal person into an immortal/divine angelic being dwelling with God.
