The History of the Devil: With 350 Illustrations (Dover Occult)

This was a really great book. Very well written and detailed. You will learn a lot. Highly recommended for anybody interested in learning the historic origins of the devil.

Lot of great and wonderful pictures that I've never seen before I was very happy with this purchase

If you're looking to find out where all these devil myths came from, this is the book to buy. It is an amazing encyclopedia of historical knowledge. The work of Paul Carus goes beyond the expectations. It proves that all religions came from myths and they are nothing but man made stuff used to create fear in the minds of men. I strongly challenge you to read it.

Very informative, but would have liked more pictures. Really wish the cover picture was in the book. All in all a good book.

Great pics n stories

I'm still reading this book but so far it has lots of information that I feel any person interested in this topic will enjoy.

a well written book entailing the evolution of the concepts of satan, the devil, and evil in ancient and modern religion and spiritual practices.

interesting.

A great work. Carus researched the archetype as it appears within many forms, including those of ancient Egypt, Accadia, India, Persia, and tracing these aspects into the Abrahamic conceptualisation as it developed throughout the middle ages, the reformation, the early modern period, and into the present. Despite what is clearly a Christian perspective, Carus manages to effectively argue why the Devil is essential and has been harshly portrayed -- even to the extent that Carus offers the reason why the archetype has been essential in the development and becoming of man.The 350 or so images that accompany the text serve well to illustrate the depictions of the archetype by an array of cultures.

A little bid hard to read through, still you can totally enjoy with full of illustrations you'll find in it.Just amazing.
