The Devil

The Devil

by PeterStanford (Author)

Synopsis

Talk of the Devil has become distinctly unfashionable. Our sceptical age has pensioned Satan, for centuries the face and name put to the abstract reality of evil. However, the creation of Popes, archbishops and priests will not so easily accept his fate, and Satan continues to serve as a metaphor for evil throughout society. His scaly black skin, horns, cloven hoof and red eyes have become embedded in popular psyche. In identifying the Devil as the scapegoat for all that humanity cannot explain about the world, this compelling biography investigates how we tackle evil.
