REPRESENTATIONS OF ANGELIC BEINGS IN EARLY JEWI...

Angelic beings have occupied an important place in many traditions within Judaism and
Christianity from Second Temple times up until the present. In this volume  essays by scholars
from the Middle East  Africa  Europe  and North America draw attention to a wide variety of
ways in which traditions about angels were addressed and developed over time  including
examples from the Hebrew Bible  the Dead Sea Scrolls and related literature  early Christian
writings  magical texts  and the rich heritage of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. The
contributions as a whole demonstrate the interwovenness of Jewish and Christian tradition and 
in turn  reveal how much the consideration of angelology reflects broader hermeneutical 
textual  and tradition-historical approaches to the study of religion.
