Dictionary of Deities and Demons in the Bible

This dictionary is a major work of reference that discusses all the gods and demons whose names are found in the Hebrew Bible, Septuagint, Apocrypha, and New Testament.

It includes entries on divine names recognized by biblical authors, theophoric toponyms and anthroponyms, secular terms used as divine names in neighboring civilizations, and humans who acquired a semi-divine status in tradition.

Each entry provides a discussion of the name, its meaning, religio-historical background, relevant biblical passages, and an up-to-date bibliography.

The work is the result of a collaborative effort by over a hundred international scholars from various traditions.
