This collection of essays originates from the 2014 Evil in Second Temple Judaism and Early Christianity conference hosted by the Centre for the Social-Scientific Study of the Bible at St Mary’s University, Twickenham. Featuring an international collection of senior and junior scholars, it represents the cutting edge of scholarship on portrayals of evil in the Second Temple period and the earliest centuries of Christianity. The individual essays consider the significance of “evil” as it relates to a diverse set of topics, including Qumran and its texts, images of disability in 2 Maccabees, dissociations of Jesus from evil in early Christian manuscripts, the “apocalyptic Paul,” Jesus’ exorcisms, Gospel cosmologies, the epistle of James, 4 Ezra, the Ascension of Isaiah, Marcion, John Chrysostom, and the Acts of the Martyrs. Contributors: James G. Crossley, James P. Davies, Jonathan A. Draper, Nicholas J. Ellis, Robbie Griggs, Chris Keith, Jonathan Knight, Louise J. Lawrence, Jutta Leonhardt-Balzer, Susanne Luther, Paul Middleton, Lloyd K. Pietersen, Christopher A. Rollston, Dieter T. Roth, Christopher W. Skinner, Loren T.
