""The Devil" is the first installation in Dr. Jeffrey Burton Russells' four book series regarding the ultimate nature of evil; in "The Devil", Dr. Russell explores the concept of radical evil in a variety of cultures using examples from art and literature as well as historical analysis to support his thesis. Being only the first of four, "The Devil" seeks to flesh out a basic picture of radical evil and guide the reader towards a broader understanding of ultimate evil as an intrinsic component to the human condition. An enthralling read, "The Devil" will make you want to continue the series by buying "Satan: The Early Christian Tradition", "Lucifer: The Devil In The Middle Ages" and "Mephistopheles: The Devil in the Modern World"."
"Picked this book in a secondhand shop in Paris. Lovely cover and binding. It just jumped into my hand.
Jeffrey Burton Russell has an excellent style and admirable pedagogy. I'm not quite finished it yet but have learned a lot about the history of concepts (not to be confused with the history of ideas).
Good for anyone working on the history of political or philosophical concepts that everyone thinks they know how to define but about which nobody can quite manage to agree with anybody else."
