They represent the dark aspects of human nature and political entities and reveal the supernatural dimensions of evil. Ancient texts and pictures regarding these monsters reflect an environment of polytheism and religious pluralism. Remarkably, however, the biblical writings and post-biblical traditions use these venerated symbols in portraying God as being sovereign over the entire universe, a theme that is also prominent in the reception of these texts in subsequent contexts. This volume explores this tension and elucidates the theological and cultural meaning of ?Leviathan? by studying its ancient Near Eastern background and its attestation in biblical texts, early and rabbinic Judaism, Christian theology, Early Modern art, and film. 410 0$aThemes in biblical narrative ;$vv. 21. 606 $aLeviathan 606 $aMonsters in the Bible 615 0$aLeviathan. 615 0$aMonsters in the Bible. 676 $a220.6/4 702 $aBekkum$b K. van 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817835503321 996 $aPlaying with Leviathan$94095448 997 $aUNINA
