Satanism & the Left-Hand Path

The Birth of Satan

Tracing the Devil's Biblical Roots

by T. J. Wray & Gregory Mobley

Two biblical scholars explain how the Satan of the Hebrew Bible, a heavenly adversary in texts such as Job and Zechariah, developed into the Devil of Christian tradition. They discuss Near Eastern influences, Persian dualism, apocalyptic literature and the New Testament. Clear and non-technical, it suits general readers, students and study groups interested in the origins of the Devil.
