The Origin of Satan: How Christians Demonized Jews, Pagans,

The Origin of Satan: How Christians Demonized Jews, Pagans, and Heretics

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 Satanâ‚¬s story into an audacious exploration of Christianityâ‚¬s shadow side, in which the gospel of love gives way to irrational hatreds that continue to haunt Christians and non-Christians alike.
