The Birth of Satan: Tracing the Devil's Biblical Roots

Religious scholars explore the origins of the sinister persona that haunts the Bible—and personifies evil across cultures. Of all the demons, monsters, fiends, and ogres to preoccupy the western imagination in literature, art, and film, no figure has been more feared—or misunderstood—than Satan. But how accurate are the popular images of Satan? How—and why—did this rather minor biblical character morph into the very embodiment of evil? T. J. Wray and Gregory Mobley guide readers on a journey to retrace Satan's biblical roots. Engaging and informative, The Birth of Satan is a must read for anyone who has ever wondered about the origins of the Devil.
