The Origin of Satan: How Christians Demonized Jews, Pagans, and Heretics (1995) is a book by Elaine H. Pagels.
Abstract
"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."--Publisher description.
Editions
Published in New York, NY: Random House, 1995 (#2052).
