Abstract

The purpose of this study is not to argue the problem of whether demons actually existed in Old Testament times or whether they were merely mythological attempts to express the reality of evil in the universe apart from the human sphere. The purpose is to present a rapid survey of Old Testament demonology and the influence that critical and conservative scholarship have brought to bear upon demonological interpretation.
