Histoire générale du diable

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

<i>A History of the Devil</i> is a provocative exploration of the personification of evil through the ages and across cultures. Messadie reveals that the Satan of Judeo-Christian mythology--the antithesis of God and good--was a concept unknown to the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Hindus, and Chinese. In fact, the devil was probably invented six centuries before the Common Era by Persian clergy eager to demonize their political adversaries. And the image of absolute evil has been a useful tool of the powerful--both religious and secular--ever since, from the Grand Inquisitor Torquemada to Ronald Reagan.
