"over 300" b&w illustrations. bibliographic footnotes throughout. index. religion. theology. mythology. ancient literature. philosophy. theosophy. ~ The personification of evil in the form of the Devil, has long captivated the human imagination. Profoundly feared and worshiped, the Evil One has made his pervasive presence known throughout the ages and across many cultures, religions, and beliefs. Yet does the Devil really exist? As Paul Carus makes clear in The History of the Devil and the Idea of Evil, we have grappled with this question across the millennia. Indeed, Dr, Carus reminds us, we are still searching for the meaning and purpose of evil, the answer to the enigma of the Devil himself. The History of the Devil tells Satan's timeless story, while chronicling mankind's struggle with its various demons from those of remote Mesopotamia to those of an "enlightened" modern world. In the grand tradition of Adolf von Harnack, Sir James Frazer, and George Lyman Kittredge, among others, the author probes the forces that have previously bedeviled our imagination to reveal the truths behind Lucifer's contemporary lure. Dr. Carus's text, which begins with "the dark figure of the Devil" inspiring ancient peoples with fear and dread and ends with Satan still casting his spell over the twentieth~century psyche, succeeds in reuniting a supposedly "rational" modernity with its deceptively distant and "irrational" past. Fear, states Dr. Carus, "is the first incentive to religious worship." This is why the Devil, a powerful evil deity, looms up as the most important personage in the history of every faith. Yet it was not only external demons that were feared, Several thousand vears before Christ, ancient cultures (Egyptian, Sumerian, Elamite, and early Semite, among them) believed that within mankind lived dangerous and destructive powers, as well as vital forces for good. The history of the Devil and evil, from 5,000 B.C. through the nineteenth century and beyond, suggests Paul Carus, is largely the history of mankind's efforts to reconcile its own opposing forces of Good and Evil. The work of a distinguished thinker and scholar, The History of the Devil and he Idea of Evil is a classic primer, richly adorned with over 300 illustrations. In this book, Dr. Carus uncovers and illuminates the compulsions that have shaped our belief in, and fascination with the Devil, while recounting the tales~marvelous, wrenching, and darkly mysterious~that reflect the history of the angel who fell, forever, from grace.
