ORIGIN OF SATAN

This book and information is updated daily and is available now to order.
Did Satan become the Gospels' prince of darkness, who brings about the crucifixion?
Elaine Pagels

From the editor: "Pagels is a wonderful writer .... She has a gift for bringing ancient texts alive .... Fascinating." -San Francisco Chronicle

In the Old Testament he is merely the Adversary, a forbidding mem­ber of God's retinue. How then did Satan become the Gospels' prince of darkness, who brings about the crucifixion of Jesus as part of a cosmic struggle between good and evil? And why did Jesus' fol­lowers increasingly identify Satan with their human antagonists­frst Jews, then pagans, and then heretics of their own faith?

In this groundbreaking work of religious and social history, the author of The Gnostic Gospels traces the relationship between the embattled members of a breakaway Jewish sect and the myth they invoked to explain their persecution. The Origin of Satan is at once a masterpiece of erudition and a book resonant with contemporary implications. For in its pages we come to understand how the gospel of love could coexist with hatreds that have haunted Christians and non-Christians alike for two thousand years.

"Lively reading. . . a book that makes familiar concepts disturbingly fresh and provocative." -The New York Times

    Pages: 214
    Special Interest: Theology, Satan, Religion, Comparative & Critical Analysis, Evil.
