Synopsis

In this controversial book, Kersey Graves presents a historical and comparative analysis of the concept of Satan in various religious traditions. The book explores the origins of the devil figure, tracing its roots in ancient mythologies and religious beliefs. "The Biography of Satan" challenges conventional religious interpretations and sheds light on the diverse and evolving perceptions of evil and temptation throughout human history. Key Aspects of the Book "The Biography of Satan": Religious History: Graves' book provides a comprehensive study of the concept of Satan in different religious and mythological contexts. The author examines the symbolic significance and interpretations of Satan in ancient and modern belief systems. Controversial Perspectives: "The Biography of Satan" presents alternative viewpoints on the devil figure, encouraging readers to critically examine religious narratives and their cultural implications. Kersey Graves is best known for his controversial works on comparative religion, mythology, and freethought. Graves' writings challenged conventional religious beliefs and sought to promote a more rational and humanistic worldview. His works, including "The Biography of Satan," contributed to discussions on the evolution of religious ideas and the role of mythology in shaping cultural beliefs. The Biography of Satan is a lovely collection of lore, logic, and philosophy, dating to the middle of the rational days of the 19th century. Within this work, Kersey Graves lays waste to the doctrine of eternal Hell and the very concept of a Satan, claiming that it is, within proper tradition, the Christian god himself who is the architect of evil and suffering. With numerous references to linguistics, pagan lore, and then-modern historical science, Graves' work deserves far more attention from the world at large; and for those interested in the occult, and in magic, the comprehension of proper demonology requires such concepts to be understood.

This book for its time would’ve been really pretty radical from my gathering of history, not so much that we’d have a burning at the steak situation on our hands, it lands a bit later than that but it was so refreshing to read that the philosophies that I live by were historically documented and peo......more

Goodreads review by Supra

The book was written in 1924 and reprinted. The Author try’s his best to explain that devil is made up, however he does a very bad job in doing so.

This is an interesting book to read when you look at it for what it is. I wasn’t sure when it had been written when I started it, but it soon became clear it was not recent, since it doesn’t meet modern academic standards. Be aware that this was written before peer review was required for a work to......more

Any rating above 2 stars rating for me is a generous, non deserved credit; * Plenty of references with considerably weak correlations. * Faith and philosophy are two universes whose marriage would hopefully provide a fruitful chunk of solutions for most of world human, mental and psychological disord......more
