What place does Lilith have in Christianity?

score:9

Christianity is based on the Bible. One of the tenets of Protestantism is "sola scriptura" (Scripture alone). Lilith is not mentioned in the Bible, and thus has no relevance to Christianity.

Some parts of Christianity also consider tradition as well as the Bible, but that doesn't sound like Christian tradition either.

Christians can view non-biblical ideas as myths, history, or whatever, as seems appropriate.

Lilit, from the Hebrew לִילִית, is popularized by Jewish midrashim. I do not believe it (or she) has ever had a place in Christianity.

An excerpt from Gesenius' lexicon on the OT:

(The comments in brackets are redactions made by S. P. Tregelles when he translated Gesenius' lexicon into English.)

The word occurs once in Isa. 34:14 where it is translated as "screech owl" by the A.V.
