Before I move on to other things, I’d like to introduce one more biblical studies related article from the Journal of the Interdisciplinary Study of Monotheistic Religions.

Volume 10 (2015) includes an article about Leviathan in Jewish and Christian interpretation by Danielle Gurevich, Associate Dean at the Faculty of Humanities, Bar-Ilan University (Israel).

Volume 9 of Journal of the Interdisciplinary Study of Monotheistic Religions (2014) features three articles on the theme:

Below, I have included bibliographic information and links for both articles, as well as a few additional links that may be of interest. Continue Reading…

Update (Jan 7, 2017): I found the original English version of this article after posting this last month. I have added new links and revised the bibliographical information below. Note, however, that I have kept my own translation of the Japanese version.
