The Origin of Satan
by Elaine Pagels
From the religious historian whose "The Gnostic Gospels" won
both the National Book Award and the National Book Critics
Circle Award comes a dramatic interpretation of Satan and his
role in the Christian tradition. With magisterial learning and
the Žlan of a born storyteller, Pagels turns Satan's story into
an audacious exploration of Christianity's shadow side, in which
the gospel of love gives way to irrational hatreds that continue
to haunt Christians and non-Christians alike.
