Goliath might be the most famous giant in the Bible, but Genesis 6:4 mentions angels and women birthing a breed of ravenous giants before the flood. While this watery destruction was intended to purge evil from the land, somehow wickedness persisted after the flood waters subsided. Could it be something to be with these pesky giants?
In this episode of Dead Sea Scrolls Digital Shorts, Dr. Andrew Perrin introduces the Aramaic Book of Giants originally found in Qumran Cave 4 among the Dead Sea Scrolls. This ancient composition includes some of our earliest interpretations of life before and after the flood and explores why that cryptic verse might hold interpretive clues to timeless questions about evil and expectations of the end of time.
