i know it isn’t fair, but some time ago I came up with an all-purpose response to that question of questions that we are faced with so often that we’ve come to forget or overlook what we’re really being asked. You know the one. It’s usually raised when you’re in a group, and someone in some sort of petty authority—say a waiter or a tour guide or a stewardess—is presiding. Tis person is talking to you all, explaining something—the daily specials, how we’ll all meet back here at the bus in forty-?ve minutes, that you can’t use the bathroom while we’re taxiing—and at some point they ?nally stop. And then they ask it: “Does anyone have any questions?” Now, if I am part of this group and feeling especially put-upon by this person or otherwise disruptive, I will raise my hand. “Yes?” they will inevitably ask. And I will say it: “Um, why does evil exist?” And, wow, that really throws them for a loop. “Um…” Like I said, it isn’t fair. Fish in a barrel, really. But they asked, and I’m asking. “Uh, what do you mean?” Tey always say that, too.

With few exceptions, scholarship on creativity has focused on its positive aspects while largely ignoring its dark side. This includes not only creativity deliberately aimed at hurting others, such as crime or terrorism, or at gaining unfair advantages, but also the accidental negative side effects of well-intentioned acts. This book brings together essays written by experts from various fields (psychology, criminal justice, sociology, engineering, education, history, and design) and with different interests (personality development, mental health, deviant behavior, law enforcement, and counter-terrorism) to illustrate the nature of negative creativity, examine its variants, call attention to its dangers, and draw conclusions about how to prevent it or protect society from its effects.

One of the central concepts in rabbinic Judaism is the notion of the Evil Inclination, which appears to be related to similar concepts in ancient Christianity and the wider late antique world. The precise origins and understanding of the idea, however, are unknown. This volume traces the development of this concept historically in Judaism and assesses its impact on emerging Christian thought concerning the origins of sin. The chapters, which cover a wide range of sources including the Bible, the Ancient Versions, Qumran, Pseudepigrapha and Apocrypha, the Targums, and rabbinic and patristic literature, advance our understanding of the intellectual exchange between Jews and Christians in classical Antiquity, as well as the intercultural exchange between these communities and the societies in which they were situated.
