This book considers the early history of Jewish-Christian relations
focussing on traditions about the fallen angels. In the Book of the
Watchers, an Enochic apocalypse from the third century BCE, the
'sons of God' of Gen 6:1-4 are accused of corrupting humankind
through their teachings of metalworking, cosmetology, magic, and
divination. By tracing the transformations of this motif in Second
Temple, Rabbinic, and early medieval Judaism and early, late
antique, and Byzantine Christianity, this book sheds light on the
history of interpretation of Genesis, the changing status of
Enochic literature, and the place of parabiblical texts and
traditions in the interchange between Jews and Christians in Late
Antiquity and the early Middle Ages. In the process, it explores
issues such as the role of text-selection in the delineation of
community boundaries and the development of early Jewish and
Christian ideas about the origins of evil on the earth.
