Dualistic worldviews and demonic or devilish figures make frequent and varied appearances in both early Jewish and early Christian texts. By setting out the background and charting the development of these notions in Second Temple Judaism, this volume explains New Testament traditions within early Jewish contexts, focusing on issues of the origins of evil and its eschatological removal, the role of eschatological opponents and the function of demons. Textually, the Dead Sea Scrolls and other Second Temple texts are highlighted alongside the Jesus tradition. Four concluding contributions reflect the place of demonological ideas in present theological thought and problems of handling them in church practice.

German description: Dualistische Weltdeutungen und damonische oder diabolische Figuren begegnen in fruhjudischen und urchristlichen Texten in grosser Zahl und Vielfalt. Der vorliegende Band untersucht den Hintergrund und die Entstehung dieser Vorstellungen im antiken Judentum und erlautert neutestamentliche Uberlieferungen im Horizont ihrer fruhjudischen Kontexte. Besondere Beachtung findet dabei die Frage nach den Ursprungen des Bosen und seiner Uberwindung, nach der Stellung eschatologischer Gegenspieler und der Funktion von Damonen. Mit Beitragen von: Michael Becker, Stefan Beyerle, John J. Collins, Craig A. Evans, Philipp David, Jan Dochhorn, Jorg Frey, Monika E. Gotte, Christian Grappe, Theresa Heilig, Albert Hogeterp, Esther Marie Joas, Jutta Leonhardt-Balzer, Enno Edzard Popkes, Hartmut Rosenau, Maike Schult, Eibert Tigchelaar
