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 on the Christian tradition. With magisterial learning and the elan 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.
Review:
"That Pagels can explain [a] complicated thesis in a mere 184 pages of text testifies to her skill as a master teacher. Her strength lies not in discovering new facts but in drawing familiar facts into new and meaningful configurations. Her clear, concise exposition rarely bogs down in details...Though minor errors of fact occur...they do not affect Pagels's overall thesis....Pagels's achievement is both a stimulating intellectual romp and a sobering sermon on the dangers of religious polemic."
Chaim Potok
Review:"She has demonstrated, more fully and convincingly than has been done before, how ancient the demonizing tradition in Christianity is. In particular, she has demonstrated how the authors of the canonical gospels helped--unintentionally and unwittingly, to be sure--to create the stereotype of the demonic Jew. Thoughtful, scholarly works that are also original and adventurous are not common. 'The Origin of Satan' is such a work, and we should be correspondingly grateful."
John P. Meier, Washington Post Book World, 07/09/1995
