Satanism & the Left-Hand Path

The Prince of Darkness

Radical Evil and the Power of Good in History

by Jeffrey Burton Russell

A one-volume condensation of Russell's four-volume history of the Devil, written for general readers. It follows the personification of evil from ancient Near Eastern and Hebrew traditions through Christianity, medieval demonology, the witch-hunts and modern literature to the twentieth century. An efficient overview of the whole series for those who want the argument without the full scholarly apparatus.
