ABSTRACT
THE chief prize at stake in the battle of Good and Evil is man. He is tormented by demons who try to make him their tool by causing him to commit wicked and sinful acts, while the divine instruction of the Torah, confirmed by the wisdom of the Masters, guide his feet in the paths of virtue. It is necessary, therefore, that we should consider the ethical and anthropological views, which the Jews of Jesus' day held with regard to the nature and instincts of man and his destiny both in this world and beyond the grave.
