Angels and Demons in the Hebrew Bible and Beyond 

Don't miss this Hot Topics Conference on Angels and Demons in the Hebrew Bible and Beyond

  • Who or what are "angels" and "demons"? 
  • Are these beings mentioned in the original Hebrew Bible? 
  • If so, why do even the words we use to describe them come from classical Greek (angelos and daimon)? 
  • How do the Gospels use these terms? 
  • And why was the late Second Temple Period about 2,000 years ago so revolutionary for how we think about the spiritual realm even today?

Our special guest scholar will be Dr. Tupá Guerra, a specialist on the supernatural in the Dead Sea Scrolls. She will be joined by IBC faculty members Dr. Nicholas Schaser, Dr. Ashley Lyon, and Dr. Yeshaya Gruber for a stimulating discussion on Biblical understandings and human imaginings of the unseen realm.
