The Origin of Satan
The Origin of Satan: How Christians Demonized Jews, Pagans, and Heretics | Elaine Pagels
2 posts | 9 read | 10 to read
From the religious historian whose The Gnostic Gospels won both the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award comes a dramatic interpretation of Satan and his role on the Christian tradition. With magisterial learning and the elan of a born storyteller, Pagels turns Satans story into an audacious exploration of Christianitys shadow side, in which the gospel of love gives way to irrational hatreds that continue to haunt Christians and non-Christians alike.
