About this Item

Print on Demand. This book tackles a controversial and enduring question: where does evil come from? The author, a keen observer of religious trends, argues that the devil has been unfairly blamed for a range of social and scientific advancements, from the invention of the printing press to the discovery of the earth's spherical shape. He challenges the prevailing religious views of his time, which often saw reform and progress as the work of the devil, by tracing the roots of such beliefs back to ancient mythologies and their interpretation by the Church. The author explores how ancient Egyptian beliefs about the Nile and the gods associated with it influenced early religious thought, and how these ideas evolved to encompass concepts of hell and demons. He then examines the role of the devil in various periods of history, highlighting how reformers and innovators were frequently accused of being in league with the devil, providing a fascinating perspective on the clash between traditional religious views and the spirit of human progress. The author ultimately offers a fresh and thought-provoking perspective on the nature of evil and the challenges of reconciling religious beliefs with the undeniable reality of human invention and discovery. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from All About Devils: Or an Inquiry as to Whether Modern Spiritualism and Other Great Reforms Come From His Satanic Majesty and His Subordinates in the Kingdom of Darkness

As a general thing I do not intend to write anything that needs an apology. As for the matter oi this book, I am sure no apology is needed. The world needs it. Devils and hob-goblins have long kept the world back from progress.

In some passages the manner of presenting the truths here given may seem to border somewhat on the sarcas tic; possibly On the blasphemous. 'should any apology be needed for that, let it be found in the fact that the whole question, if it were not so ridiculous, would be a sublime sarcasm.
