Christian teaching, and its view of Satan is no exception. We have seen the images our whole lives, from the red-skinned horned master demon ruling over Hell with his pitchfork to the sly serpent who sells us sinfully delicious deserts to the handsome seductive tempter who lures us with sparkling promises to our doom. We’ve heard of the angel Lucifer and his fall, how Satan has tempted and tormented mankind, and how the Devil and his angels will end up in the lake of fire. But where did this story come from? Using Milton’s Paradise Lost as a launching-off point, Kelly examines all the different stories in the Bible that have been woven together into this narrative, how they grew to be connected over time, and what it means if these diverse accounts of the Evil One don’t line up into a single, neat story.
