One of the central concepts in rabbinic Judaism is the notion of
the Evil Inclination, which appears to be related to similar
concepts in ancient Christianity and the wider late antique world.
The precise origins and understanding of the idea, however, are
unknown. This volume traces the development of this concept
historically in Judaism and assesses its impact on emerging
Christian thought concerning the origins of sin. The chapters,
which cover a wide range of sources including the Bible, the
Ancient Versions, Qumran, Pseudepigrapha and Apocrypha, the
Targums, and rabbinic and patristic literature, advance our
understanding of the intellectual exchange between Jews and
Christians in classical Antiquity, as well as the intercultural
exchange between these communities and the societies in which they
were situated.
