Evil in Second Temple Judaism and Early

Christianity
Ed. by Chris Keith and Loren T. Stuckenbruck
[Das bel im Judentum des Zweiten Tempels und im frhen Christentum.]
Published in English.
This collection of essays originates from the 2014 Evil in Second Temple Judaism and Early
Christianity conference hosted by the Centre for the Social-Scienti c 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
signi cance 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 .
