The Devil
A New Biography
A historian of religion surveys the Christian Devil from the intertestamental period to the Enlightenment. Almond covers the fall of the angels, theories of the atonement, possession and exorcism, demonology, the witch-hunts and the Devil's decline as an object of belief in the modern West. Concise and well informed, it is a clear introduction for general readers and students.
