A question has be boggling me for quiet some time, is there any mention of werewolves in the bible? I don't mean the Therian bible (if they have one, which I do think they do...) but maybe a christian or Catholic bible?

Not that I've been able to find. There are mentions of Werewolves (Cananaens/Cynocephalids) in the apocryphal works such as The Contendings of the Apostles. Several of the canonical saints were or were related to Werewolves. The most well known being St. Christopher.

Saint Andrew preached to a wolf

St. Andrew was an evangelist to the Neuri - so he preached to Werewolves. St. Francis helped settle a dispute between a wolf and a town in Italy.

Hm... What about St. Pactrick?
I've read something about him with reference to werewolves in Ireland. Can't remember though, what it was about.
Siverwolf.

He supposedly turned a family who opposed his teachings into Werewolves. Some of the saints were rather irascible, it seems.

Very interesting indeed. I was once reading over some apocryphal works online and found a passage that claimed all the 'wolve's' gathered outside the walls of Jerusalem during the birth of Christ. Being Christ was born in Bethlehem, the story may have no connection, but I still think that the reference is neat.
Also, being I study ancient Solomonic Magicks and other Jewish mysticism doctrines, I will be sure to post whatever I find, IF I find anything.

BENJAMIN
The favorite son of Jacob, Benjamin has remained the symbol of the tender youngest child. The tribe of Benjamin, however, was considered particularly warlike and courageous. To this tribe belonged Saul, the first king, and Jonathan, his son. The symbol of the tribe was the wolf, a predatory animal. The biblical phrase on the tab reads, "...in the morning he shall devour the prey" (Gen. 49:27).
