Unyielding man in bible wants wings removed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adamant

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'unyielding' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'man in bible wants wings removed' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'man' could be 'ad' and 'ad' is found in the answer.
'bible' could be 'nt' (short for New Testament) and 'nt' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ama' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adamant that I've seen before include "Unswerving" , "Inflexible, obdurate" , "intractable" , "Unpersuadable" , "Completely determined" .)
