Exploring the myth of fallen angels preserved in 1 Enoch and other literature, Stuckenbruck demonstrates how it became influential during the Second Temple period. Dissecting a variety of themes---including demonology, giants, exorcism, the Holy Spirit, the conversion of Gentiles, and more---he offers a theological framework for the myth through which to reconsider New Testament texts. 427 pages, softcover from Eerdmans.
