The contributions cover a wide range of corpora and explore aspects of continuity and change as ideas flowed between groups and cultures. 330 $aFor Jews and Christians in Antiquity beliefs about demons were integral to their reflections on fundamental theological questions, but what kind of ?being? did they consider demons to be? To what extent were they thought to be embodied? Were demons thought of as physical entities or merely as metaphors for social and psychological realities? What is the relation between demons and the hypostatization of abstract concepts (fear, impurity, etc) and baleful phenomenon such as disease? These are some of the questions that this volume addresses by focussing on the nature and characteristics of demons ? what one might call ?demonic ontology?. 410 0$aAncient Judaism and Early Christianity ;$v113. 517 3 $aCharacters and Characteristics 606 $aJewish demonology 606 $aDemonology 606 $aJudaism$xDoctrines 606 $aReligion 615 0$aJewish demonology. 615 0$aDemonology. 615 0$aJudaism$xDoctrines. 615 0$aReligion. 676 $a220.096 676 $a290 702 $aLössl$b Josef 702 $aPatmore$b Hector M. 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910915701603321 996 $aDemons in Early Judaism and Christianity$94302222 997 $aUNINA
