This massive work on the history of evil, particularly as symbolized by the Christian devil, was written on the cusp of the 20th century by Paul Carus, who wrote such other books as ‘Buddha, the Gospel’.
At that point in history it seemed apparent that evil would soon be eliminated by the onrushing forces of rationalism and modernism. The devil had been reduced to a literary character, always ready to make a silly bargain for a soul. This trivialized image is perpetuated to this day. Satan in the cinema is either represented as a hideous special effect or a comic, bumbling trickster. Long gone is the noble adversary of Jehovah, as portrayed in the Bible, Milton or Dante.
However, the 20th century brought total war; genocide; death camps; nuclear, biological and chemical weapons; mind control; double-speak; ecological destruction; and finally indiscriminant mass terror. Evil was back and it was unmistakable. No wonder that opinion polls in the United States show that a large proportion of the population believe in the existence of the devil.

Peter Cook in Bedazzled is neither hideous nor bumbling. And I can think of plenty of other examples.

Except if you actually read the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, Satan is NOT a villain in either. He’s essentially Yahweh’s `prosecutor’. He tests those who claim to be the most righteous to see if they truly are. I.e. he weeds out the religious hypocrites.

You’re probably thinking of Liz Hurley in Bedazzled. Somebody around here is thinking of Liz Hurley.

“However, the 20th century brought total war, etc…” ummm, all done in the name of “god”. Not Satan. So there’s your “idea of evil”….

@rmoor - for some reason this book seems to have an issue, where it has 1 seed and 62 peers, which leads me to suspect that something might be a bit wrong. That and its stalled at 0.0%

“20th century brought total war, etc.” Driven by political ideology, fear, desire for power, control, territory, resources, etc. The most destructive wars in history, in point of fact.
