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
