Few religious figures are as widely recognized, complex, and contradictory as the Christian Devil. From Satan’s role as the enemy of God to modern depictions of evil in art, film, and literature, the Devil continues to inspire fascination and dread amongst theologians, artists, and thinkers the world over. In this Very Short Introduction, Darren Oldridge places Satan in his historical, religious, and cultural context by considering his character and its impact. Among other themes, he explores demonic temptation and possession, witchcraft and necromancy, and modern allegations of 'satanic ritual abuse'.
