Demonic exegesis: the role of biblical interpretation and exegetical encounter in the shaping of Jewish and Christian demonologies

Judaism had developed an extensive set of beliefs about demons by the end of the rabbinic period (AD70-c.500). Literature from this era connected these beliefs to specific writings from the Hebrew Scriptures. However, in their original historical contexts, few of these biblical texts have anything to do with demons. So?how, and why, did the religious texts come to be understood as speaking of demons? This project will explore this phenomenon, “demonic exegesis”, by posing questions such as: which biblical texts did Jews in the period connect with demons, when were the texts first associated with demons, and how do?these traditions relate to Christian biblical interpretation connected to demons? The study will draw together demonology, biblical interpretation, and Jewish-Christian interaction in the rabbinic period.
