Items related to The Devil: A Biography
Our sceptical age has pensioned off Satan, for centuries the face and name put to the abstract reality of evil, but the creation of popes, archbishops and priests will not so easily accept his fate. Satan continues to serve as a metaphor for evil throughout society, and his scaly black skin, horns, cloven hooves 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 biography investigates how we tackle evil.

Brilliant, original and controversial study of the Devil throughout history, right up to the present day.
From the Back Cover:
He's devilishly handsome. Or is he in fact not a he? Is the Devil really a worldly power, or is he just a scapegoat for all that humanity cannot explain about the world - or will not own up to in itself?
In The Devil: A Biography, Peter Stanford traces the development of the character and role of Satan through the ages and examines how we tackle evil today.
